The KREST House for Best Publishing Company in South Africa

The Book Behind Awards (BBA) is an organisation dedicated to promoting reading and writing by recognising emerging writers in our society. Each year, the BBA honours those who have made significant contributions to the literary world, acknowledging the often challenging journey to becoming a published author with great respect. The KREST House, along with two authors from KREST, have been recognised in three categories for their exceptional literary work. The dynamic publishing house has been nominated for the Best Publishing Company. Fantasy author Michael Ferguson is up for the Best Male Author award, while children’s book author Gretchen Ryan has been nominated for the Best Book Cover for her book There’s an Elephant in My Swimming Pool.

Founded by CEO Keli H, The KREST House is comprised of KREST Publishers, KREST Conservatoire, KREST Collections, and KREST Periodicals. Since its inception, The KREST House has received 11 book award nominations, a testament to its growing influence in the literary world. Recently CEO Keli, alongside KREST authors Theresa Bhowan Rajah and Michael Ferguson, have been invited to Comic Con Africa as guest speakers, further solidifying KREST’s presence in the literary and cultural landscape. What sets Krest apart from other industry giants is its multifaceted approach to nurturing literary talent. The KREST House is not just a publishing house; it’s a thriving
creative ecosystem. The team successfully operates KREST Conservatoire, an online writers’ academy that provides aspiring and established writers with the tools needed for a flourishing career. KREST Collections offers exclusive merchandise, and KREST Periodicals is the company’s very own magazine publication.

With a simple mission, “Stay Inspired!”, The Krest House has done a phenomenal job of creating a valued name within the South African publishing industry. The KREST House consistently puts its authors in the spotlight, creating opportunities for them to reach a broader audience. With two of their authors being nominated for BBA awards, KREST’s dedication to nurturing local and international talent and elevating their voices on a global stage is evident. The Latin phrase “omne trium perfectum”—everything good comes in threes—perfectly encapsulates Krest House’s success as they continue to prove themselves a formidable force in the literary world.
