South Africa has a voice - let her be heard!

Opportunities for authors to get their work published have dramatically increased. Don't put your manuscript on the shelf because one publisher rejected it! Published works are no longer the realm of a chosen and lucky few. Your work can be published!

New Voices Publishing offers:

a publishing service that takes weeks and not months to print a book,

to layout, typeset, design & publish a book in under 6 weeks,

the benefit of Digital ready-to-publish files for books & covers - being able to print when the demand is there and not warehousing masses of books waiting to sell,

to publicise the books on the Internet as soon as they have been published with an ISBN number and inform the publishers network database about the book’s availability,

take orders from bookstores and individuals via the Internet, fax or phone,

to digitally archive the files so books are never out-of-print,

to pay 50% of the NETT profits to the author as royalties,

a reasonable fee for set-up expenses for the author's title (see Author Assistance)

New Voices Publishing programme allows first-time authors to submit a traditional manuscript in Microsoft Word, RTF or plain TXT format. This will be taken and redesigned with publishing software into a pagenated, printable format that is sent to state-of-the-art printing machines and finally transforms into a dynamic, custom-made book based on the author's choice of design combinations.

Getting a book published through a traditional publisher takes months, even years! 'Print-on-Demand' (P.O.D.) means a book-run can take under 6 weeks* and be as little as a single copy! This eliminates expensive guess work and costly warehousing. POD titles are never out of print and can be available for generations to come. Risks and cost elements are vastly reduced, allowing more titles to be printed.

New Voices Publishing puts a new face on publishing! We will publish anything from the big blockbuster to the specialist niche subject. Do you have a story to tell? Romance, history, natural sciences, arts, travel, economics, biographies - you name it, we can publish it!! With our straightforward approach, we can take your work and put it into online and hard copy using the new digital Print-On-Demand (P.O.D) technology. In Europe, it is already the fastest growing section of the printing industry and has revolutionised the publishing business, making it available and affordable to a large number of aspiring authors.

New Voices Publishing will register your title with an ISBN number, your book is then automatically available to be ordered via the New Voices bookstore on the web. The initial set up costs are affordable and the author RETAINS the copyright. The author will also receive 50% of the NETT revenue in royalties of books sold via the websites' bookstore.

New Voices Publishing offers affordable packages for the South African market and the author can tailor-make a package that suits his/her budget and lifestyle.

New Voices Publishing was inspired by the success of print-on-demand technology experienced in Europe. Barbara Mueller was part of the production office of the European Geosciences Union for 4 years, publishing scientific journals with this technology. The speed and quality of these publications were well accepted in the scientific community. With this new technology, we will be able to offer up-and-coming authors a platform - maybe the new voices in South Africa can also be heard worldwide! Let’s give them this opportunity!

* Books that are text only & with a soft cover can take as little as 4 weeks, but any 'coffee table' type book would need more time.
