Stories With Purpose
Elevana Publishing is an Accra-based publishing studio creating thoughtfully crafted books, magazines and personal keepsakes. We give African stories, people and practical ideas the space they deserve—in print and on screen.
MEET THE FOUNDER
Yaw Asamoah Boateng
ASABEE · FOUNDER & PUBLISHER
Behind Elevana Publishing is Yaw Asamoah Boateng, known as Asabee—a Ghanaian creative and entrepreneur with a background in photography, visual design and content creation.
His work has long centred on people: documenting celebrations, creating portraits and helping individuals and businesses express who they are. Elevana Publishing extends that practice into books and magazines, bringing photographs, personal voices and thoughtful writing together on the page.
Asabee leads the creative direction and development of Elevana’s growing catalogue, from personal and legacy publications to business learning and children’s stories. His ambition is to build a publishing house where African experiences are presented with care, imagination and lasting value.
Our Background
Why We Publish
We publish to build a culture of reading: ideas written so clearly that a market trader, an artisan or a young founder can enjoy them, understand them and use them to grow.
Our publishing house
OUR EDITORIAL TEAM
Founder-led today. Building a circle of voices.
Elevana Publishing is currently led by Asabee. As the publishing house grows, we are developing a network of editorial and creative collaborators who share our commitment to thoughtful stories and beautifully made publications.
The areas we are building include:
STORY
Editorial & research
Writers, editors and researchers who can develop compelling narratives, ask good questions and bring care to facts, context and language.
CRAFT
Design & visual storytelling
Designers, photographers and illustrators who understand how images, typography and page design can carry a story.
PERSPECTIVE
Contributors & specialist voices
Authors, professionals and subject specialists who can contribute lived experience, practical knowledge and fresh perspectives.
Interested in collaborating? Introduce yourself, tell us your area of interest and share a link to relevant work. Collaborations are discussed according to the needs of each project.
THE CARE BEHIND EVERY EDITION
Respect for the person. Care for the story.
We aim to preserve each person’s voice, check the details that matter and give contributors an agreed opportunity to review their material. Strong visuals and clear writing work together, with space for the reader to pause, reflect and connect.
