Reviews
“Since its inception, the African Small Publishers’ Catalogue has given space and visibility to the small independents of our books industry and community, including articles of advice for writers, and wisdom of experience-sharing in terms of difficulties and challenges overcome.”
“This Small Publishers’ Catalogue is a way of uncovering and bringing this important work to light. The Catalogue offers some insight into the extent of small publishing. It is useful as a resource for new small publishers or those who want to venture into self-publishing, it offers an idea of who is doing what and how they are doing it.”
