African Crown Publishing is a Black-led nonprofit book publisher based in the San Francisco Bay Area. We publish fiction, literary works, and cultural storytelling by Black, African American, and diasporic writers while building programs that expand access to publishing knowledge and literary opportunity.
We publish books rooted in truth, cultural integrity, and ownership, amplifying Black and diasporic authors through ethical, author-centered publishing.
We create pathways for young writers through workshops, mentorship, and literacy programs that center on creativity and cultural pride.
We build readers, writers, and cultural ecosystems through free and low-cost programs, events, and community partnerships.
From debut fiction to cultural memory work, our publications reflect the depth, range, and brilliance of Black storytelling.
Our books span psychological thrillers, urban crime fiction, and culturally grounded storytelling.
