The name Jalaa is derived from a northern Nigerian language about to go extinct. Members are united by a common purpose of using the collective power of many to achieving individual writing and publishing goals.

Odili Ujubuoñu’s new book Pride of the Spider Clan and Akachi Adimora-Ezeigbo’s Roses and Bullets will be released under the JWC imprint early next year.

Jalaa hopes to create a platform for improving the craft of its writers and closing the gap existing between books and readers in the Nigerian Publishing Market.
