Porcupine Press

Porcupine Press (Johannesburg) offers the full range of publishing services, from writing and editing, through all the production stages, to marketing and distribution of the finished product. We publish work by local writers in all genres and focus on producing high-quality books that go against the frequent criticism of sub-standard books, as a result of inadequate self-publishing endeavours in South Africa. In addition, we offer distribution services to an increasing number of independent authors and small publishers, which tend to be ignored by the traditional book trade. Our main focus is to develop a thriving local literature and to create book-related socio- economic endeavours in marginalised areas.
