Where the margin goes.

Most publishers exist to keep their margin. Seven Lions exists to give it away — to one cause, without exception: the education of girls in Africa.

01

How it works

Three steps, no small print. This is the whole model.

01

You buy a book

You choose a title from the catalogue — a real, rigorous book you actually want to read.

02

The author is paid in full

The writer keeps their royalties, exactly as they would with any other publisher. Nothing is taken from them.

03

Our margin builds schools

What is left — the publisher's share — is dedicated entirely to funding boarding schools for girls in Africa. Every book is a brick.

Educating a girl changes more than one life — it changes a family, a village, a generation. We chose the lever with the longest reach we could find.

Founded in 2020, Seven Lions publishes in French and English across a broad range of disciplines, working with academics, researchers and experienced educators.

Every title you discover, every copy you buy, contributes directly to giving young girls access to education — and to a future. To publish here is at once an act of knowledge-sharing and an act of solidarity.
