About Us

Built by a
Published Author

"We didn't just build a publishing company — we built it after living every challenge a first-time author faces."
— Crystal Boateng, Founder

Ashanti Royalty Publishing was founded by Crystal Boateng — a multi-published author and creator of Afia the Ashanti Princess, a celebrated children's book series bringing African heritage and diverse representation to young readers. Crystal knows firsthand what it takes to bring a story to life.

We work with first-time authors across all backgrounds and all genres — from children's books and memoirs to fiction, poetry, and diverse multicultural stories. Every voice matters. Every story deserves to be told.

Whatever your story, whatever your genre — Ashanti Royalty Publishing partners with you from manuscript to published. And when your book launches, you own it fully. Your ISBN, your imprint, your royalties. Always.
