Adonis & Abbey Publishers (www.adonis-abbey.com) was incorporated in the United Kingdom on March 18 2003.
It started its journey from a kitchen in South East London where the publisher lived then. Today the company has published nearly 200 titles. Its books are distributed across the world.
In 2004, the company extended into journal publishing with the twin aims of addressing the problem of high mortality rate of academic journals published by Africans and enabling African scholars to own their research agenda rather than constantly anticipating the needs of the funding agencies which, in those days, usually funded the publication of such journals.
Quite often journals published by departments or faculties in African Universities in those days tended to fizzle out once the main drivers of such journals were no longer there or once funds dried up.
In 2021, the company started a Nigeria-focused imprint, PCJ Press Limited (www.pcjpress.com), to print, publish and distribute books of all genre in Nigeria. The company also publishes the online newspaper, The News Chronicle (www.thenews-chronicle.com).
