Jozi Book Fair is an independent book fair that focuses on readers, writers and publishers. It is a national multilingual festival of languages and literatures with a social justice emphasis.

Our aims are:
• to improve the public profile of SA writers
• to encourage a culture of writing
• to help promote a culture of reading and writing in South Africa
• to give special emphasis to independent SA literatures
• to promote indigenous language writing and publishing

We provide a platform for South and African writers and publishers and for new and established writers from different disciplines. There are various activities each year, as follows:

Jozi Book Fair exhibition
book-launches
round table discussions
lectures
performances
writing & publishing workshops
study groups
community developmental projects

Jozi Book Fair is in its second year of existence, and growing. We have featured Nobel prizewinners as well as providing a platform for community level writers and writers well-known in indigenous South African languages.
