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.
We traded as Tshienda Publications for 8 years and have changed our name to Shofar Books effective from 2 August 2023. We have evolved with the industry, moulding our marketing and production strategies to suit the ever-changing market. Not only have we grown an impressive following on social media, we have considerably expanded our reach and marketing potential through various different mediums and techniques.
These include creating various books, expanding our distribution networks, writing engaging content and connecting with our readers, setting up radio, newspaper and news interviews, as well as book launches in various stores and libraries all around South Africa and abroad.
We are completely dedicated to each of our authors and work hands on with authors, partners and media contacts in order to give every book the best start in life. We’re always looking for ways to reach a larger audience, embracing more recent mediums such as eBooks and hopefully audiobooks, in the future.
