The most well-travelled Karavan Press title so far! Making waves across the world 🙂
From the moment that Karina of Karavan Press arrived in Rosebank, Cape Town with the first batch from the printers, to when a smaller stash arrived at a Putney front door in London, ‘Skipper’ was destined to travel. Here are some moments from her voyage…

Dear Readers, Please join us for the Karavan Press Literary Festival on Saturday, 27 November 2021, in the garden and lounge of Karavan Press's headquarters at 6 Banksia Road, Rosebank, Cape Town. Ticket numbers are limited to 25 per event, so please book early to avoid disappointment. Let's talk books! Literary greetings, Karina
In 2019, when the first two Karavan Press titles – Melissa A. Volker’s A Fractured Land and Shadow Flicker – went to print, I was travelling in Turkey and Austria and asked Penny Haw to assist with checking the printer’s proofs that arrived while I was away. Melissa and Penny worked together to make sure that all was in order. For me, it was terrifying not to be able to oversea everything myself as I was completely new to this side of things as a publisher, but I also knew that our books were in excellent care.
This year, when Penny’s novels, Nicko and The Wilderness Between Us, were looking for a distributor in South Africa, being a fan of her work, I did not hesitate to offer entering an agreement with her and Karavan Press’s distributor, Protea Distribution. In this way, the books and their amazing author belong to the Karavan Press family and I am delighted to be working with Penny.
And so it was wonderful to see that, when I could not attend Penny’s book signing at Exclusive Books Constantia (I was interviewing Nancy Richards at her Greyton launch of The Skipper’s Daughter), Melissa was there.
This is what I meant when I wrote on our submissions page: “We want to establish strong bonds between our authors and readers, so please join the community of writers, creatives and readers that is Karavan Press” – the literary friendships between us.
Thank you to EVERYONE who makes this possible!
