At Shofar Books, we are proud to publish and distribute books written by talented authors, speakers and poets from across the world.
We are an independent publishing house, with offices in Cape Town, South Africa.
We pride ourselves on our wide range of genres and giving ambitious authors a platform that is so rarely available in the publishing industry today.
All of our books and authors are enormously special in their own way. We believe that a story can evoke a large range of emotions; they can make you laugh, cry, angry, alert and, most importantly, change a life.

“
As a poet and an author of two books that I published at Tshienda Publications, now called Shofar Books (Haroldene), I can truly say that it wouldn’t have been possible without her. She’s an immaculate author, even more so publisher. Thank you for the existence of your business! You enrich lives!

I was linked to Haroldene of Tshienda Publications, NOW Shofar Books through a friend and I have never looked back. As a first-time poet and author; she literally held me by my hand and guided me throughout the process. Her patience and level of encouragement is what gave me the courage to soldier on. Thank you for going beyond just a publishing company, but for also creating the Poetry Circle platform where we can share our creative mind with like-minded authors.

Shofar Books, previously called Tshienda Publications is more than just a publisher. Thanks to Haroldene Tshienda my dream became a reality from what was just a vision progressed into an amazing tool for survivors of GBV. Being my first book, it was quite challenging BUT if not for the level of professionalism and compassion for this amazing woman (Haroldene) then I would probably have given up halfway through or delayed it another 3 years. Thank you so much.
