PASA's Guide to Publishing in South Africa 2021 provides an
overview of the South African publishing industry and the latest
developments, including digital publishing, in the various sectors:
Education, Academic, Scholarly, Trade and TVET. This, together with
a comprehensive list of training providers and industry-related
bodies, including government department contacts, and a list of
international, African and local book fairs and festivals, will
enable publishing staff to make informed decisions about publishing
trends and issues, marketing opportunities and training providers.
Publishers, marketing staff and authors should also engage with the
section on selling international rights, written by an
international expert in the field, to maximise the potential of
their publications. Academics and (potential) authors should find
the sections on intellectual property and copyright, and
information on 'how to get published' and key publishing and design
terms, particularly useful. The comprehensive PASA membership
directory and index of publishers, their imprints and agencies, and
their areas of speciality, should prove to be invaluable to
booksellers, librarians and academics alike.
