SOUTH AFRICAN CHILDREN'S BOOKS
Jay’s Thoughts this Month
From Manuscript to Book Launch
“I think that book publishing is about to
slide into the sea. We live in a literate time, and our children
are writing up a storm, often combining letters and numerals (U
R 2 1derful) … The future of publishing: 18 million authors in
America, each with an average of 14 readers, eight of whom are
blood relatives. Average annual earnings: $1.75.”
Garrison Keillor writing in the Chicago Tribune

Children's
Book of the Month
 JAMES
LITEL AND THE LAND OF MAGICOLOGYKR Elliott Illustrated by MM Mohwaduba New Voices Publishing In the author’s words: “An action packed adventure to keep you on the edge of your seat!” JAMES LITEL AND THE LAND OF MAGICOLOGY is an unusual choice for the Bookchat “Book of the Month”. Let’s be honest – it isn’t up to the usual standard of such choices. |
