About Us

Welcome to Shilitza Publishing Group, an independent publishing house based in Nairobi, Kenya, with a mission to elevate and platform African creatives. Our passion lies in showcasing the diverse voices and stories from the continent and the African diaspora, offering a rich blend of traditional and new media.

Shilitza Publishing Group operates through three distinct imprints, each with its unique focus:

Will This Be A Problem?

Our flagship imprint, Will This Be A Problem?, is dedicated to speculative fiction, science fiction, fantasy, and horror, alongside insightful essays and book reviews. With a strong focus on amplifying African voices, this imprint dives deep into the uncharted territories of African fantastika, presenting compelling narratives that push boundaries and reimagine possibilities.

Mko Strict!

Mko Strict! Media is the newest addition to the Shilitza family. It serves as a dynamic platform for Africans in new media, including video essays, reviews, streaming channels, skits, and short films. Mko Strict! embraces the evolving digital landscape to create fresh, engaging content that resonates with a global audience.

Asterisk*

The Asterisk* Network is Shilitza’s podcasting imprint. Focused on topics and perspectives often overlooked or relegated to the margins and footnotes, Asterisk* aims to build a vibrant network of podcasts that bring these conversations to the forefront.

At Shilitza Publishing Group, we believe in the power of storytelling across mediums to inspire, challenge, and connect people. Join us as we continue to amplify the voices shaping Africa’s creative landscape.
