Our Company
Wordslingers was established in 2015 by journalist Charl Pretorius and family of Johannesburg, South Africa.
Over the last 15 years, we've done any number of projects for friends and family, on a part-time basis. The more we did, the more we realised how many individuals and businesses need assistance to cope in the fast-moving world of modern marketing. Some battle with small things, like writing letters, others wish to get their businesses online but don't know how; some want their websites improved; others desire to break into e-commerce. Aside from this, everyone we meet has a story. Many want to tell their stories, get them online or in book form to share with the world. We've done the groundwork. We have the know-how to make it happen. We publish, we design, we print, we market online, we play with words. We are Wordslingers.
What We Do
What We Do is not unique, but We Do What We Do Well. That is unique.
We'd like to call ourselves conventional publishers, assisting with layout, design and editorial copy of books, magazines and websites - but publishing covers a wider field these days. You and your business, indeed we and ours, are in the eyes of our community and the world, 24 hours a day. To stay competitive we need to market ourselves competitively, all the time. Our services include website design and development using the extraordinary functional Wordpress Platform, Social Media Management using the big three, Facebook,Twitter, Youtube and others when required; and book publishing via the Worldwide Amazon Network, publishing "On Demand" for anyone with a desire to write and a functioning keyboard!
