Have you ever been hooked on a book that feels fresh, unique, and completely original? Chances are, that gem might’ve been self-published. Self-publishing isn’t just a fleeting trend; it’s a literary uprising that’s changing the game—especially right here in Mzansi.
Globally, self-publishing is booming, with the number of self-published titles increasing by a massive 264% over the past five years, according to Bowker. In South Africa, more and more local authors are turning to self-publishing to bring their stories to life, often bypassing traditional publishers. Supporting these writers means backing diverse voices and fresh perspectives, which enrich our book scene with stories we didn’t know we needed.
Self-published books often have that raw, unfiltered magic that you don’t always find in traditionally published books. So, the next time you’re looking for something new to read, give a self-published author a go—you might just stumble upon your next favourite.
Keep flipping those pages,
