Who we are
Transitus is a UK-based literary platform dedicated to amplifying the voices of diasporan and migrant writers originating from Africa and across the globe. We serve as a vital cultural bridge, providing a home for artists navigating physical, geographical, and cultural transitions.
By building a vibrant community of creatives, Transitus champions global-majority and African literature, ensuring that stories born of migration and movement find the readership and professional infrastructure they deserve.
Our roots & proven track record
Transitus builds upon a foundation of literary excellence established by founder Kukogho Iruesiri Samson, an award-winning author and current UK Global Talent creative. Backed by a history of literary administration with Words Rhymes & Rhythm Ltd. (WRR), and editorial ventures like Authorpedia Publishers and Cọ́N-SCÌÒO Magazine, Transitus brings established publishing leadership to the international stage.
