We love books. So we publish them.
Mirari Press was founded out of a desire to read more. More diverse voices. More diverse genres. More diverse points of view. We publish the books they ban in libraries, the books that are labelled as too-risky, the books that shake the foundations of the earth.

Our leadership
Marius du Plessis,
CEO & Publisher
Marius has spent almost two decades in the publishing industry, with many of those years in senior leadership positions at some of South Africa's biggest publishing houses.
Mirari is his answer to the dearth of speculative fiction being published in South Africa.
What we value
Every decision we make, every book we publish, is guided by our Triple Valours*: the founding principles of Mirari Press.
*That sounds like something from a fantasy novel, because, well, we love fantasy novels.
