CHAPTER 1
Our Mission
Narrative Landscape Press Limited (NLP) believes that owning the means of production is
essential to a vibrant publishing industry. The firm believes that the “means of production”
here does not just mean the printing of physical books but also editorial and book design
expertise. We are developing a cadre of excellent writers.

Our Story
Narrative Landscape Press Limited was founded in 2016 by Anwuli Ojogwu and Eghosa Imasuen. The dream of the founders was to create a firm that could distil the essence of the publishing process and provide a service to other publishing houses and self-publishing authors within the Nigerian space. The company signed service level agreements as providers of publishing services to institutions like the Olusegun Obasanjo Presidential Library.
In 2018, NLP decided to take the plunge into traditional publishing and opened its submissions desk. Our first big success was our acquisition of the books of Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie. We have since ventured in other genres of traditional publishing and are now taking our first steps into educational books for school curricula.
The future looks bright for our company. And we ask you—partner, reader, friend—to take this journey with us.

The dream of the founders was to create a firm that could distil the essence of the publishing process and provide a service to other publishing houses and self-publishing authors within the Nigerian space. The co-founders have always been fans of great literature and knew that their firm would also jump into the traditional publishing space and publish great writing itself.
NLP’s first client was Parresia Publishers. We handled production and shipping for their 2016 print run. It was a gesture of faith in our founder’s abilities that paid off handsomely for both parties.

Our Ideal
We believe in the beauty of words, in truth that comes from the seamless elegance of
beautiful art, design, and clean lines. We believe that books, of all creative genres, serve
this function. What can be truer than a line of exquisite poetry? What can be more inspiring
to the imagination than the world of books?
