"This guide is one in a series of excellent resources published by the Community Publishing Project of the Centre of the Book in Cape Town. The project provides funding and technical support for small publishers, individual writers, and writers’ groups in South Africa and helps them to develop publishing skills. The guide offers practical advice on the main stages of the publishing process, from manuscript preparation, editing, design, printing, through to marketing and distribution, and is intended for both published writers and those who are hoping to break into print. In particular it is aimed to assist individuals and community based organizations, whose books are unlikely to be published by commercial publishers and who wish to pursue the self-publishing route. In addition to guidelines and recommendations for good practice the guide includes stories about publishing “from those who have a great deal of experience and from those who have just begun to learn about it”, among them some of the Community Publishing Project grantees."
