Nonfiction / Niefiksie          Fiction / Fiksie

Nonfiction

We publish current affairs, biography, history, politics, business, sports and memoires (Tafelberg and Kwela), as well as lifestyle and cookery books (Human & Rousseau). Please send us a table of content or a synopsis of your manuscript and at least one chapter, along with your contact details and biographical information. We prefer email, but will accept hard-copy submissions. We do not return submissions so don’t send us your sole original.

Since we receive many manuscripts, please allow five to six month for feedback. Mail your submissions to [email protected], or if you prefer to submit a hard copy, send it to:

Niefiksie

By Niefiksie gee ons aktuele boeke en biografie, geskiedenis, politiek, sake, sport en memoires uit (Tafelberg en Kwela), sowel as leefstyl- en kookboeke (Human & Rousseau). Stuur asb die inhoudsopgawe en sinopsis van jou manuskrip vir ons, saam met ten minste een hoofstuk, en kontak- en biografiese inligting. Hoewel ons epos verkies, aanvaar ons ook gedrukte voorleggings. Moet asb net nie die enigste oorspronilike stuur nie, aangesien ons nie voorleggings kan terugstuur nie.

Omdat ons so baie manuskripte ontvang, neem dit gewoonlik vyf tot ses maande vir terugvoer. Stuur voorleggings na [email protected], of in die pos na:

Fiction

We prefer electronic submissions, in a neat and legible font. Double spacing is easiest to read. Pages should be numbered and it helps to insert the title of your manuscript, but NOT the author’s name, at the top of each page as header. Please send your manuscript to [email protected]

If you do send a printout via snail mail, please do not send sole, original copies of manuscripts as we do not return manuscripts by mail.

Please note that the initial manuscript assessment process can take up to four months, sometimes even longer.

Include the following in your submission:

• A covering letter containing an outline of the contents and the target market
• A short author biography
• Which imprint you are submitting your manuscript to, ie Tafelberg (or Human & Rousseau, Queillerie or Kwela)
• Please send the completed manuscript. Tafelberg currently only considers Afrikaans manuscripts.

Kinder en jeug:

Ons publiseer fiksie en niefiksie vir kinders en die jeug in Afrikaans en Engels.

Indien jy wel ’n drukstuk stuur, moet asseblief nie die enigste, oorspronklike weergawe van jou manuskrip stuur nie aangesien ons geen dokumente terugpos nie.

Let asb daarop dat die keuringsproses tot en met vier maande kan duur, somtyds selfs langer.

Stuur asseblief ook die volgende:

• ‘n Begeleidende brief met ‘n kort beskrywing van die inhoud en die teikenmark

• ‘n Kort biografie van die skrywer

• Stuur asb jou volledige manuskrip

Tekste wat met illustrasies gepubliseer word, hoef nie deur illustrasies vergesel te word met voorlegging nie.

Ons nooi illustreerders uit om hulle werk voor te lê. ‘n Portfolio van tot en met 5 MB in grootte kan per e-pos  gestuur word aan Astrid van Staden ([email protected]).
