Metz Press is an independent publisher of high quality information books and illustrated non-fiction for the South African market as well as the international co-edition market. Our focus remains on crafts, gardening, parenting and life (which includes several self-help titles). One of a small number of independent South African publishers to have successfully penetrated the international co-edition market, we have sold rights to our books in the US, Canada, UK, Australia, New Zealand, Germany, Portugal, Spain, France, Czech Republic, Poland, Turkey and Russia. After many years of hard work and a consistent presence at the Frankfurt International Book Fair we have convinced reputable international companies that we can meet their high standards of quality of content, production and delivery. Most of our overseas editions reprint regularly and the list is growing.

Metz Press continue to attract the best craft authors for our project-based craft books. Their creativity, combined with a practical, hands-on approach and the services of top photographers in this genre all contribute to a range that simply stands out from the rest. Last year’s success with embroidery doyenne Di van Niekerk’s ribbon embroidery and stumpwork designs for a selection of Cecily Mary Barker's exquisite Flower Fairies™ is bound to be equalled by her recently released Monograms and words in ribbon embroidery. Fabric enthusiasts are sure to be thrilled by Simply fabulous fabric, as well as the forthcoming Contemporary dyecraft. Our well-known and growing parenting list has also been boosted by the addition of BabyGym, MindMoves and a new edition of our topseller Baby sense is soon to be released. Easy answers to awkward questions has become one of our most talked about titles, receiving accolades from education experts as well as Childline, among others.
