Small & indie Pan African publishers catalogue - call for advertising

November 3rd, 2009 by Colleen

NIPPA or the Network of Independent Publishers Pan-Africa is looking for likely prospects to sponsor and/or advertise in our Small and Indie Publishers’ 2010 Catalogue. This Pan-African publication network aims at sharing knowledge about publishing and distribution in African countries.

Modjaji Books on behalf of NIPPA has undertaken to compile and produce a catalogue of small literary and trade publishers in Africa. It is our aim to have the catalogue ready in time to represent small publishers at the London Book Fair in 2010. As most people in the book world in South Africa know, the London Book Fair has selected South Africa as its 2010 market focus country. South Africa’s publishing industry will be front and centre; showcasing publishers, books and authors over the Fair’s three days.

We propose to publish the catalogue in a directory format, in black and white on glossy paper. The size of the catalogue will be A6: 105 x 148 mm

The costs of advertising in the catalogue are:

For Inside Back Cover and Inside Front Cover: R2000
For Back Cover: R5000

For a Full page advertisement inside: R2000
For a Half page: R1200
For a Quarter page: R600
To Sponsor a Page
(narrow banner ad across the bottom of a page): R300

All advertisements will be in black and white, except inside and back covers.

All of the above prices include VAT

If you would like to advertise in the catalogue, please contact me at cdhiggs AT gmail.com or if you have suggestions of likely candidates for sponsorship or advertising, please let me know.

    BOOK SA is good for a quarter page at least - possibly more, depending on the publishing deadline (which impacts on one's ability to save up :) ).

    Update, Mega Digital has agreed to sponsor the first 500 print run in exchange for the back cover. Kalk Bay Books is taking the inside back cover. African Sun Press/Patricia Schonstein is taking the inside front cover. Book SA is taking a full page inside the catalogue ad. Wordsworths and Clarke's Books have expressed interest, but haven't committed yet.

    Let's hear from the rest of the book world. Support indie publishing in Africa and take an ad in our catalogue.

    Writers, editors, proofreaders, designers, readers are welcome to take out ads or sponsor pages too.

    Jozi Book Fair is taking a full page ad! The sponsorship is rolling in, but we still need more, don't miss out on this opportunity to support indie publishing in Africa.
