About Us

Our Founding Story

Picture this: a group of individuals, each with a unique perspective on the world, gathered together to create something special. They saw a need for a platform that would allow writers to share their social commentary with a wider audience, to spark critical thinking and creativity, and to provide a space for overlooked topics to be explored.

And so, they set out to create a website that would support intellectual curiosity and independent thinking, where the quality of arguments and nuanced perspectives would be at the forefront of every piece that was published. They wanted to inspire their readers to think deeply about the issues facing their society and to offer original and thought-provoking content that would push them to think about things a little differently.

Their commitment to delivering accurate and well-researched content that was both informative and engaging was unwavering. And they wanted to do it all with a unique writing style that set them apart from the rest.

Today, this group goes by the name Gudu Publishing and we hope to inspire our readers to think deeply, creatively and openly about those social issues that continue to affect us on a daily basis.

We welcome you to our little group and hope you stick around for some happy reading!

Our Mission

To offer unique, diverse and critical opinions about those social issues that are routinely simplified and regularly overlooked in mainstream discourse.

Our Values

  • Quality

    We believe that quality should be the top priority in everything we do. By implementing strict editorial standards, fact checking our writer’s claims as well as encouraging the use and citation of reliable sources, we strive to publish content that is engaging, informative, and intellectually stimulating.

  • Originality

    We believe that our works should be original and be based on those important perspectives that are routinely overlooked in mainstream debate. By facilitating the creation and dissemination of high-quality, well-researched and unique content, we seek to engage our readers through meaningful and thought provoking pieces.

  • Critical Thinking

    We believe that critical thinking and intellectual rigor is the best way to offer fresh, overlooked and innovative perspectives to persistent societal issues in Ethiopia. By relying on rigorous analysis, considerate deliberation and the use of evidence-based arguments, we strive to amplify critical voices and promote critical thinking through our works.

  • Diversity of Thought

    We believe that offering a diverse range of perspectives can help create a more informed and literary minded society. By encouraging our writers to draw from a wide range of authors, sources, perspectives and fields of studies, we strive to not only amplify viewpoints that are routinely overlooked in mainstream debate. We also seek to encourage the intellectual curiosity of our readers.

  • Honesty & Transparency

    We strongly value intellectual honesty and research transparency in all of our dealings. By guaranteeing that our writers follow appropriate ethical guidelines, avoid plagiarism, accurately cite the sources used for their writings as well as provide relevant and complete information about their research processes, we seek to build trust and credibility with our readers as well as our writers.

  • Fair Dealings

    We strongly believe in the power of partnership and collaboration, and strive to build relationships with our authors that are based on mutual respect and a shared commitment to creativity. By adhering to our internal Code of Conduct, providing guidance to our writers and openly sharing data analytics with them, we seek to do our part in creating a more equitable publishing space in Ethiopia.
