Publishing

We publish academic, general and conference content. Our model is based primarily on digital print-on-demand technology which enables us to publish niche and specialist research titles even if the first print-run might be relatively small.

Our titles, in both printed and electronic formats, can be purchased online at the SUN-e-SHOP.

Well-known academic and political role players have published with SUN MeDIA – Proff. Louise Viljoen, Wannie Carstens, Allan Boesak, Chris Brink, and Steven Chown, to name but a few. With topics ranging from the Afrikaans language debate to soccer in Stellenbosch and life on Marion Island, and titles such as Christian in Public, Higher Education in South Africa and Teksredaksie, you are guaranteed to find something in our catalogue that will suit your reading taste.

SUN MeDIA publishes under three imprints:

  • SUN PReSS: Academic and research publications
  • Rapid Access Publishers (RAP): General publications
  • Conference-RAP: Conference proceedings and publications
