Because we know you’ve got questions and we’ve got lekker answers!
What is Lekker Books all about?
We’re a proudly South African online platform that gives local authors and their books the spotlight they deserve. Think of us as the friendly go-between connecting readers who love local stories with the authors who write them.
Can I buy books directly from Lekker Books?
Yes!!! You can discover amazing local titles and buy them from our bookstore. We’re all about making it easy to support local writers.
I’m an author, how do I get my book listed?
Lekker! Head over to our Join as an Author page, sign up for a membership, and we’ll set you up with your own author profile and book listings. You bring the words, we bring the spotlight.
Does it cost money to join as an author?
Yes, there’s a small monthly subscription (because good marketing and exposure don’t come for free). But it’s way more affordable than doing it all yourself and 100% focused on growing your reader base.

Can I suggest a book or author to feature?
Please do! We love recommendations. Drop us a message on our Contact Page your suggestion might just be our next featured title.
How long does it take for my author profile to go live?
Usually within a few days of signing up and sending through your details. We’ll let you know once everything’s up and running so you can start sharing your Lekker Books link far and wide.
