About Honey and Crown Publishing Ltd

Honey and Crown Publishing Ltd was founded to publish stories that carry truth, depth, and meaning without noise or performance.

The name reflects the heart of what we publish. Honey symbolises sweetness drawn from difficult places, insight gained through experience, and stories that nourish rather than distract. It speaks to writing that is honest, carefully crafted, and rooted in real life rather than surface success. Honey is gathered slowly, with patience and purpose, and we believe good stories are made the same way.

Crown represents dignity, identity, and quiet authority. It reflects the belief that worth is not given by approval or visibility, but restored through truth, resilience, and integrity. The crown in our name is not about status or power, but about honour earned through perseverance and staying true to what matters.

Together, Honey and Crown holds the tension between hardship and hope, vulnerability and strength, suffering and growth. It reflects the kind of publishing we believe in. Thoughtful, courageous, and enduring.

Honey and Crown Publishing Ltd publishes memoir, narrative nonfiction, and childrens literature that carry moral depth without being didactic, and imagination without losing substance. Our focus is on work that leaves a lasting imprint, invites reflection, and speaks honestly to the human experience.

Founded by author Jacquelene Botha, Honey and Crown Publishing Ltd is an independent imprint built on creative integrity, careful stewardship, and respect for both story and reader.
