TO THE YOUNG POETS AND LOVERS OF POETRY! 🌸📖

Dear young poets,

Somewhere out there is a young person writing poems in a notebook, hiding their words because they are afraid nobody will understand them. Somewhere, someone is carrying a story they have never been brave enough to tell.

I want you to know that your voice matters. Your words matter. And your story deserves to be heard.

Poetry is not only about beautiful words. It is about courage, vulnerability, healing and finding a voice even when the world expects you to remain silent.

This October, we invite you to come and witness the beautiful journey of a fellow young writer, Lethabo Mmabatho Mogotsi, as she launches her poetry collection, Whispers of Resilience.

As Poeticblood Publishers, we believe that celebrating one writer is also encouraging the next. We want young poets to attend book launches, support one another, learn from each other’s journeys and understand that publishing a book is not an impossible dream.

Come and see what happens when a dream becomes a book. Come and be reminded that the poems sitting quietly in your notebooks could one day find their way onto bookshelves.

📚🇧🇼 MONDAY BOOK TALK: DEAR AUTHOR, HAVE YOU HEARD OF LEGAL DEPOSIT?

You have written your book.

You have edited it, designed a beautiful cover, obtained an ISBN, printed your copies and perhaps even launched it.

Congratulations! You are officially a published author. ❤️

But wait a minute…

Did you know that in Botswana, publishing a book also comes with a legal responsibility? 👀

Let’s talk about something that many authors overlook: LEGAL DEPOSIT.

Legal deposit is the requirement for publishers to submit copies of published books to designated libraries for preservation and documentation.

And no, it is not the same thing as applying for an ISBN!

🇧🇼 WHAT DOES BOTSWANA’S LAW SAY?

Under Section 10 of the National Library Service Act (Chapter 58:02), publishers of books published in Botswana are required to deposit copies within one month after the book first comes off the press.

The requirement is generally THREE COPIES:

📖 Two copies for the Botswana National Library Service, through the National Reference Library.

📖 One copy for the University of Botswana Library.

These copies are supplied at the publisher’s expense.

BUT WHY DOES THIS MATTER?

Imagine an author publishes a beautiful Setswana novel today.

Only 50 copies are printed. The author sells them all, readers enjoy the story, and years later, nobody knows where to find a copy.

That is exactly the kind of loss that legal deposit helps prevent.

It contributes to preserving our country’s literary heritage, documenting locally published works and making them available for future reference and research.

Think about the books being published in Botswana today.

Our poetry. Our novels. Our children’s stories. Our histories. Our research. Our languages.

They are not just books. They are part of Botswana’s written memory.

And one day, long after we are gone, someone may want to understand what Batswana were writing, thinking, questioning and dreaming about in 2026.

That is why preservation matters.

ONE MORE THING, AUTHORS!

An ISBN identifies a particular book edition. It does not replace legal deposit, and legal deposit itself does not transfer your copyright to the library.

So, as you celebrate becoming a published author, remember that the journey does not end when the books leave the printing machine.

Publishing is about bringing stories into the world. Legal deposit helps ensure that those stories are not lost to time. ❤️📚

At Poeticblood Publishers, we believe Botswana’s stories deserve to be written, published, preserved and remembered.

A QUESTION FOR OUR AUTHORS:

Have you already submitted your published book for legal deposit, or is this the first time you are hearing about it? 👀

❤️📚 TWO ANNOUNCEMENTS. ONE PASSION. ENDLESS POSSIBILITIES!

At Poeticblood Publishers, we have always believed that literature is more than just books on shelves. It is about voices being heard, stories being preserved, knowledge being shared and opportunities being created.

Today, we are delighted to share two exciting developments involving our Managing Director, Dr Lame Pusetso (Poeticblood).

🎤 FIRST, WE ARE TALKING BOOKS!

On 17 October 2026, our Managing Director will be one of the speakers at the Writing & Publishing Workshop, taking place at Aga Motse Centre.

As an author, publisher, poet and literary activist, she continues to embrace opportunities to share her knowledge and experiences with aspiring writers and fellow creatives.

📚 AND YES, POETICBLOOD PUBLISHERS WILL HAVE A STALL AT THE EVENT!

We are excited to announce that we will also be exhibiting at the workshop!

Authors, aspiring writers, readers and everyone interested in the world of books are more than welcome to visit our stall.

Come and meet our team, learn more about our publishing and printing services, ask questions about your manuscripts and explore how we can help bring your book projects to life.

Whether you have a completed manuscript, a book you would like to print, or simply an idea you have been carrying for years, come and have a conversation with us! ❤️

Although workshop registration is now closed, we look forward to connecting with those attending.

🏆 SECOND, OUR VOICE IS TRAVELLING BEYOND BORDERS!

We are equally excited to celebrate our Managing Director’s nomination for the Podcast & Spoken Word Artist Award at the African Fashion and Arts Award (AFAA 2026), scheduled for 8 November 2026 in Abidjan, Côte d’Ivoire.

From Botswana to the African stage! 🇧🇼❤️

This nomination is a beautiful reminder that the stories we tell, the words we speak and the creative work we dedicate ourselves to can travel far beyond where they began.

For us, these two announcements represent something deeply meaningful.

One platform allows us to share what we know. The other recognises the work we have done.

And both remind us why we started this journey in the first place.

We remain committed to growing Botswana’s literary landscape, creating opportunities for writers and contributing meaningfully to the African creative industry.

To everyone who continues to believe in our work, support our initiatives and celebrate our milestones, thank you.

There is still so much to write, so much to learn and so much more to achieve.

See you on 17 October at Aga Motse Centre! 📚❤️

Poeticblood Publishers, in association with the Botswana Literature Awards, is pleased to announce that Dr. Lame Pusetso, Founder of the Botswana Literature Awards and Managing Director of Poeticblood Publishers, will be featured on the BTV Breakfast Show on Monday, 28 September 2026 at 06:40HRS.

TOPIC:
“OUR STORIES, OUR VOICES – CELEBRATING BOTSWANA LITERATURE AT 60”

As Botswana commemorates 60 years of Independence, the conversation will reflect on the country’s literary journey, from Setswana literature and oral storytelling to contemporary Batswana authors. The discussion will also explore the growth of the local literary industry, the importance of recognising Batswana writers, and the need to inspire future generations to read, write and preserve our stories.

At Poeticblood Publishers and the Botswana Literature Awards, we remain committed to amplifying Batswana voices, celebrating our literary heritage and contributing to the continued growth and recognition of Botswana literature.

We invite authors, readers, publishers, creatives and lovers of Botswana literature to tune in.

🇧🇼 60 Years. Our Stories. Our Voices. Our Legacy.
