Portia Arthur (born 7 January 1990) is a Ghanaian author, writer and reporter.[1][2] She launched her first book titled Against the Odds in July 2018.[3] She also started the Book Per Child Initiative, which aims at inspiring young people to read by supporting them with educational materials and establishing reading clubs in various schools and churches.[4]
After studying publishing at university, Arthur's first job was with media house Pulse Ghana, under of the supervision of Godfred Akoto Boafo.[5] Inspired by one story she reported on, about the lack of school infrastructure in my neighborhood,[7] she started a project called "The Book Per Child Initiative".[5] As she has said, she saw it as "a way of improving the literacy level of our future leaders. But I reckoned what better way than to contribute to solving the problem I had spotted by actually tapping into my publishing training and passion to write a book? I subsequently also realized I could sponsor some kids with their tuition with proceeds from book sales."[5] As part of the project, her first book, Against the Odds, was launched in 2018.[8]
In 2020, she was appointed General Manager of Blackbusters Family Media.[9]
