About us

Smartline Publishers Ltd. is not just a publishing company; it’s a creative powerhouse and a trailblazer in Ghana’s educational and literary landscape. Since its establishment in 1996, Smartline has redefined how stories are told, books are created, and education is delivered. With a legacy of pushing boundaries, the company is charting an exciting new path, evolving from a traditional publishing house into a full-fledged content development and media company.

Our Publishing Roots

Smartline has become a cornerstone of Ghana’s publishing industry, starting with a single desktop computer. Over the years, we’ve consistently delivered high-quality, locally relevant content that resonates globally. Our textbooks, storybooks, and educational tools cater to students and educators across various curricula, including IB, Cambridge, Common Core, GES, and Montessori. Smartline’s commitment to empowering learners with culturally rich and innovative materials has earned us a reputation as a trusted partner in education.

Expanding Horizons

But we’re not stopping there. The world of publishing is changing, and so are we. Smartline is expanding its Publishing Services Unit to better support the increasing demands of authors, providing them with end-to-end solutions to bring their stories to life. With the introduction of our Print-on-Demand (PoD) unit, authors can now publish their works in small, cost-efficient quantities without compromising quality—a game-changer in Ghana’s publishing industry.

Diving Into Media and Innovation

At Smartline, we believe stories have no boundaries, and neither do we. That’s why we’re launching a state-of-the-art Podcast Studio, creating a space for compelling narratives, educational discussions, and authentic voices to shine in the growing world of audio content.

But that’s not all. Smartline is leaping into the vibrant world of animation, bringing stories to life in bold and imaginative ways. From children’s tales to educational resources, our animation ventures aim to captivate audiences and make learning more dynamic, accessible, and fun.

A Creative Vision for the Future

Our evolution reflects a deep understanding of the modern content ecosystem. By combining traditional publishing expertise with cutting-edge media, Smartline is building a platform where authors, educators, and creators can thrive. Whether it’s a beautifully bound book, a thought-provoking podcast, or an animated adventure, our mission is to create content that inspires, educates, and entertains.

Our Commitment

At the heart of it all is our unwavering dedication to local talent and culture. We’re passionate about nurturing authors, illustrators, and creators, giving them a platform to showcase their work to the world. Smartline’s mission has always been about more than just producing books; it’s about creating opportunities, telling authentic stories, and fostering a vibrant literary and creative culture in Ghana.

From our humble beginnings to becoming pioneers in digital publishing, PoD technology, podcasting, and animation, Smartline Publishers Ltd. is a testament to the power of innovation and resilience. As we embrace the future, our focus remains steadfast: to empower creators, engage audiences, and elevate storytelling across Ghana and beyond.
