At SA Suburbs Publications, we bring your publishing vision to life with a comprehensive suite of services designed for self-publishers. From meticulous editing and proofreading to captivating book cover design and precise design and layout of books, magazines, and manuals, we ensure your work stands out. We also offer printing, unforgettable launch events, and strategic marketing and sales support to help your publication reach its audience.

 

We take pride in assisting self-publishers by providing high-quality services at very affordable prices, making professional publishing accessible to everyone.

Bringing Your Vision To Life

We provide a full range of services—individually or combined—to help you transform your manuscript into a professional book.

 

  • Already typed your manuscript? We can assist with editing, copy editing, design, layout, and preparing your book for print. If your manuscript is already polished, we can get it print-ready quickly.
  • Have handwritten pages? No problem. We can convert your writing into a book, though this requires more work to ensure it meets professional standards.
  • Printing support: We coordinate printing for quantities of 10 books or more. While smaller runs with spines may be limited, folded and stapled books can be produced in smaller batches if needed.
  • ISBN and barcode assistance: We can guide you through obtaining your ISBN number and barcode, making your book fully ready for publication.
  • Direct sales options: You can choose to make your book available on our website for direct orders or digital downloads, giving you full control over distribution.

It’s important to note that SA Suburbs Publications is not a traditional publisher. Instead, we empower you to be your own publisher. While you cover the upfront costs, you retain the full rewards when your book succeeds. We handle editing, proofreading, layout, cover design, printing, and ebook creation—but marketing, sales, and distribution remain your domain.

Editing and Proofreading

Even the most skilled writers benefit from editing. Professional book editing is meticulous work: each word is evaluated, and each sentence refined. After editing, proofreading ensures that your text is virtually error-free. While mainstream publishers may proof a book multiple times, a single post-editing proofread is typically sufficient to guarantee a polished final product.

What Will It Cost?

Costs vary depending on your book’s length, design choices, paper quality, binding, and printing method. SA Suburbs Publications can provide personalised quotes and examples to suit your needs and budget.

Online Bookshelf

We also offer an Online Bookshelf, where you can sell your book directly to readers. Prices start from just R500 per year, and when you publish your book with us, your first year is FREE.
*** Best of all, 100% of every sale goes straight to you—we take nothing. ***
