We Amplify African Creativity
Readr is a unified ecosystem where African writers publish and monetize their stories, while actors and directors connect with professional readers for self-tape auditions, narration, and voice work.
Our Mission
To give every African storyteller a global stage — fair pay, real ownership, and a community that celebrates their voice.
Our Vision
A continent where talent meets opportunity — from Lagos to Nairobi, Accra to Johannesburg — connected through one platform.
Our Promise
Transparent payments, low friction, mobile-first design, and payments that work with local currencies and mobile money.
The Readr Story
Readr began with a simple observation: Africa's creative talent is world-class, but the infrastructure to connect, publish, pay, and promote is fragmented. Writers used scattered platforms; actors struggled to find reliable readers for self-tape auditions.
So we built one home for both. Publish a novel, earn from it, then hire a reader for your audition — all in one place. Today, Readr serves creators across Nigeria, Ghana, Kenya, South Africa and beyond.
