Wordslingers Publishing Corporation (Pty) Ltd was established in 2015 as a general media business focusing on website design and social media management and as a small venture into book publishing. Initially a publisher of horse racing titles, Wordslingers has since branched out to Afrikaans fiction and non-fiction, with established novelist and writer Michael Green (who also writes as RR Ryger), as our first flag-bearer.

Wordslingers is growing in stature and hopes to attract more new and established novelists from the Afrikaans and English communities. We are committed to giving our published writers good royalty deals and to the publishing of controversial works that other publishers refuse to touch.

The Wordslingers portfolio presently includes the cult writer RR Ryger’s Drank, Seks en David Bowie, and Die Hol Gevoel (re-release), with another Ryger title, Beertjie en sy Boys and Green’s youth title, Die Derde Rugbybal to be re-released. Green’s 2024 rugby book, Stryd van die Reuse was launched in November 2024 and is presently available countrywide. Charl Pretorius’ racing titles, Legends Of The Turf’ (Volume 1 and 2), The 10 Habits of Highly Effective Horseplayers, Horse Chestnut: The Story Of A Legend (with Mike de Kock) and Thoroughly: Seven Decades in the Sport of Kings and Crooks (with Ormond Ferraris), are still popular in the niche racing market.

In 2025, we will also be developing unique blogs, written by experts in their field; an agency for celebrity Masters of Ceremonies and further ventures into promotion of theatre and music.
