Karavan Press is a small, independent press with limited resources and we can publish only a few books a year.

We are constantly on the lookout for new voices and will approach writers we are eager to work with. Once you become a Karavan Press author, we will always strive to offer your subsequent manuscripts a publishing home, but we do not insist on the right of first refusal.

Before you consider submitting your manuscript to Karavan Press, please read at least three of our existing titles. This will give you an idea of what inspires the creative vision behind Karavan Press.

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 and follow us on social media in order for all of us to connect and share stories and ideas. The best way to get in touch is via Twitter or Instagram; alternatively, please use our Contact form.

Submissions closed on 15 December 2023. Our publishing list is full until the end of 2025.

If you would like to submit a manuscript for a reader’s report, we charge an upfront fee of R4000. If you would like your manuscript edited and prepared for potential submission in the future, please use the Contact form to get in touch.
