publisher.co.za was born in a void. And it has come out of nowhere to cater to those who can no longer handle the void.

What caused this void?
• Huge commercial publishers hogging the small South African book market
• Bookshops gulping down the lion’s share of the profits
• Public perceptions about the quality of South African work being poor
• Lack of passion on anyone’s part
• Lack of money
• Lack of expertise
• Cheap becoming expensive

What has this void caused?
• A South African book market plagued by sameness
• Authors who cannot get their work published
• Small publishing houses who struggle to get their books sold
• Beautifully crafted books that are never read
• Stunning cover designs that are never seen
• Fading passion
• Publishing professionals with too few creative challenges

What has made publisher.co.za possible?
• Digital technology radically cutting the costs of high-quality book production
• Confidence in online commerce
• The ease and comfort of shopping online
• Masses of expertise and a growing passion for South African authors
• A love of South African books of all genres

Who are the people who have noticed all these things and done something about it?
