Wilde is the one platform where novelists, screenwriters, poets, and playwrights create, publish, and sell their work no separate publishing pipeline, no waiting for a gatekeeper's reply.

Join the waitlist See how it works

Founded by a writer and legal practitioner, built with engineers who've shipped ed-tech at scale. Launching first across Nigeria's literary community.

Good writing isn't the hard part. Being found is. A manuscript, a screenplay, a poem without visibility, none of it reaches the people who'd pay to read it, and work no one sees never earns a thing. What writers are missing isn't a place to write. It's a stage, and a straight line from that stage to a paying reader.

Everything a writer needs, in one place

From first draft to first sale Wilde replaces the spreadsheet of tools most writers cobble together with a single, purpose-built flow.

Create

A dedicated flow for every literary form; novels, screenplays, plays, poetry, long-form essays each with a professional-grade editor: chapters, industry formatting, and cover art.

AI-assisted creativity

Hit a block, and the built-in assistant points toward specific books, films, or works worth exploring for inspiration never handing over content, just pointing the way.

Publish & sell

One tap moves a finished work from draft to the Wilde Market, priced and ready to sell. No separate publishing pipeline, no waiting on anyone's approval.

Discover & connect

A feed of trending creatives and recent works, so readers discover writers the way they'd discover creators anywhere else except every piece here is purchasable.

From first word to first royalty

Wilde earns a small commission only when a sale happens so the platform only wins when writers do.

  1. 1

    Set your price

    Writers price their own work and keep the majority share of every sale.

  2. 2

    Publish instantly

    No submissions, no gatekeepers, no separate publishing pipeline to navigate.

  3. 3

    Get paid directly

    Wilde takes a cut only on a completed sale, and pays writers straight from the platform.

A publishing industry ready to move online

The global publishing industry is growing more than sixteen times faster than traditional publishing channels — and Nigeria's writers have been underserved by all of it.

TAM $2.16B Global publishing industry, growing 16.7% a year
SAM $67M Nigeria's book publishing sector
SOM $4M Targeted marketplace GMV by year three

No one else does all of it

Every existing platform covers a slice of what a writer needs. Wilde is the only one built to cover the whole path.

Category What it's missing
Fiction-only platforms Fiction only no scripts, no in-app professional editor, no AI support
Script listing platforms Scripts only, and a listing model rather than a direct sales platform
Essay & newsletter platforms Built for essays and articles, not books, scripts, or royalty-based sales
Wilde Every literary format, built-in professional templates, AI-assisted creativity, and direct monetization — in one platform.
