Extended Description
Sọna is a digital publishing ecosystem built for African writers, publishers, and readers first, while remaining accessible to anyone who wants to use it. It is designed to support the full journey of a book, from publishing and distribution to advance review copies, discovery, purchase, and reading. The platform includes Sọna Reader: readers discover and purchase titles on the web, then read full books securely in the iOS and Android apps. It also gives writers and publishers the tools to upload, price, distribute, and manage their books, and to run advance review copy (eARC) campaigns that put early copies in front of readers and reviewers before launch, with reviews that carry through to the book's store page, alongside an internal operations layer that supports moderation, verification, and platform oversight. Sọna was built in response to long-standing gaps in publishing infrastructure, especially around digital access, reading experience, discovery, payments, and fairer outcomes for writers and publishers. It has launched with a clear point of view and will continue to evolve as the platform grows.
