THE MIRARI SOCIETY welcomes you

Mirari Society logo_edited.png

An invitation to a discerning few.

The Mirari Society is not for everyone. It is for those who understand that art, literature, and independent thought are not luxuries but necessities. It is for those who value creativity, champion local voices, and believe that culture is something to be cultivated, not merely consumed.

To join the Mirari Society is to become a patron of the arts.

What is the Mirari Society?

The Mirari Society is a collective of individuals who believe that literature is more than entertainment—it is a force for change. It is a movement that nurtures authors, sustains independent publishing, and upholds the value of intellectual and artistic freedom. By becoming a member, you join a legacy of patrons who recognize that great stories deserve a place in the world, and that the independent publishing industry needs champions who care about creativity, not just commerce.

By joining the Mirari Society, you are not just supporting a publishing house; you are shaping the literary landscape. You are ensuring that bold voices are heard, that speculative fiction thrives, and that the independent spirit of storytelling continues to challenge, inspire, and provoke. Even if fantasy and science fiction are not your preferred genres, your membership supports an ecosystem of writers, artists, and independent booksellers who dare to create outside the mainstream.

Why Join the Mirari Society?

  1. You are a patron, not just a reader. Your support funds the publication of daring, original works that may not find a place in commercial publishing.

  2. You belong to a circle of independent thinkers. The Mirari Society is a haven for those who appreciate ideas, innovation, and artistic expression.

  3. You enjoy the prestige of exclusivity. This is a membership for those who see beyond the bestseller lists and support literature as an art form.

  4. You believe in local business. Mirari Press is a South African publisher championing local and global voices that would otherwise remain unheard.

  5. You value independent thought. In an age of mass-market entertainment, you choose to support the creators who think differently.

Membership Tiers

We offer five tiers of membership, each providing increasing levels of engagement and recognition. Whether you wish to be a silent patron or an active advocate for literary arts, there is a place for you in the Mirari Society.

From Templars to Archons and a range of choices in-between, there is a membership tier for everyone, regardless of financial status. Scroll down to review the benefits of each tier. Are you a Templar, Mage, Member of the Conclave, Steward of Everwild, or Archon?

Tier fees are listed in South African Rands. Our payment partner accepts payments from all major international banks.

The Choice is Yours

You could walk away now and remain on the outside—watching, observing, consuming stories without ever being part of the movement that makes them possible. Or you could step inside, take your place among the patrons of independent literature, and know that you are shaping the future of storytelling.

The Mirari Society is calling. Will you answer?
