We are committed to making self-publishing easy and affordable for aspiring writers.
Haroldene Tshienda
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 and Gqerbeha (Port Elizabeth), 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.
Literary Artists in and around Eastern Cape can nominate their work for the first Eastern Cape Literary Awards 2024. The event will be on 7 December at Amwazi South African Museum of Literature in Makhanda (Grahamstown).

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.

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.
