Bertrande KANGAN came second in the 2020 edition of the “Amazones du Digital” challenge with her project IRETI, a publishing house specialising in digital publishing.

Holder of a bachelor's degree in Diplomacy and International Relations, Bertrande KANGAN is currently a first-year Master's student in Public Law, specialising in International Law and International Organisations, at the Doctoral School of the Faculty of Law and Political Science of the University of Abomey-Calavi.

Passionate about literature, she noticed that, compared with the Western system, the traditional (paper) book in Africa lags behind. The book trades, and publishing in particular, are still stagnating on the continent. Starting from the observation that talented African writers prefer to be published by foreign publishing houses because African publishers struggle to export them, she decided to set up IRETI, a publishing house specialising in digital publishing that will be dedicated to African authors.

IRETI aims to make life simpler for authors and readers alike. With one click, you will be able to take your favourite books with you wherever you go. IRETI (Hope in the Yoruba national language) wants to bring about a renewal of African literature. Becoming the giant of the literary industry in Africa is the aspiration of Bertrande KANGAN and her team.
