Sara Jones & Peter Unsworth are the co-founders of "South African Authors.com", a Company dedicated to providing a platform for only South African Authors whose voices, work and books have not been heard to their full potential, until now! It is the first ever South African Authors online bookstore that gives direct access to the Authors themselves, some of which have published their novels at their own expense. South African Authors.com was established in 2002 and has already received outstanding feedback from Authors, future Authors, general public and media alike. This once again proves that there is a need in the market for a direct link to South African Authors.
Biography of Sara Jones - Co-founder of South African Authors.com
Sara has enjoyed an amazing career as a Feature Film Accountant on some of the largest Film Productions ever made, which has taken her across the world since her film industry career began in 1995. One of her favourite projects was working on the production, "I Dreamed of Africa" for Sony Pictures and starring Kim Basinger. She now trains Production Accountants in the field.
It was whilst on her life's journey that she became more aware of her inner self and the stress that one accumulates along the way. Sara has studied a variety of topics, from Reflexology to Chinese medicine in order to understand both herself and the world around her.
Whilst on her life journey Sara put fingers to keys and wrote her own book entitled, Return to Innocence. Realising how difficult it was to find a publishing house in South Africa to even read the manuscript, Sara published the first copy herself. This triggered the idea of creating this Website for Authors in a similar position.
Biography of Peter Unsworth Co-founder of South African Authors.com
Peter's initial career was as an International Dancer, working for various international Dance Companies in some of the most famous Theatres in the world.
Peter returned to College to study International Public Relations and in 1998 he relocated to Cape Town and established The P.R Team. Peter saw a gap in the market for a Public Relations Company that had the ability to link Africa to the international market and not only represent the local companies.
With the interest in South Africa continually growing, from the international market, he has successfully represented some of the largest companies on today's market.
Peter initially represented Sara for her publicity needs for the book, Return to Innocence and realising the difficulties encountered by self publishing Authors formed this partnership with Sara to enable Authors to get their works 'out there'.
