Editor's Note
October 2026
Dear Bookseller
Welcome to the October edition of MACNEWS. As spring brings fresh energy and colour, we're taking a moment to reflect on some highlights of Heritage Month. In this issue, we share a few moments from our Heritage Day celebrations as we recognise and celebrate the people, cultures and languages that make South Africa so wonderfully diverse. And there’s even more reason to celebrate because the Macmillan Book Bonanza is here! Running from 06 October to 13 November, the campaign brings our booksellers exclusive savings across selected Macmillan titles and resources. Turn to our Book Bonanza feature in this issue for all the details and find out how you can make the most of the campaign. We’re also excited to share that Learning Mates is now available in isiZulu, joining the existing English and Afrikaans editions and giving even more learners access to this popular resource. And remember, the Bookseller Hub is always available as your go-to resource for product images, catalogues, price lists and other useful materials to support your business. Thank you for your continued partnership and for being part of the Macmillan community. We hope you enjoy this edition and everything the new season has in store.
Happy reading!
