Lioness Launch / South Africa’s one-stop language shop, EditA Services, launches its new venture, Jomi Books

July 16, 2023 Melanie Hawken

Mignionette Fair, founder, EditA Services (South Africa)

South Africa’s EditA Services, a one-stop language shop for business, has announced the launch of its new product arm, Jomi Books! Founder Mignionette Fair says there is so much more to discover about her business under this new venture, with the first "discovery" being a children's ebook called ‘It's Time’. This colourful story is the perfect addition to bedtime and especially for families who are expanding. There are hopefully many more books to come from Jomi Books, so watch this space!

EditA Services is a one-stop language shop for businesses with a story to tell. Writing, editing, translation…founder Mignionette Fair says they do it all! From blogs to websites, the EditA team are there to ensure their clients’ story shines brightly by providing excellent content at reasonable rates and awesome turnaround times. Mignionette believes that every business and story deserve to shine brightly, so EditA is there to help tell it.

What makes the new product offering different is that at EditA Services they have  always believed in the power of storytelling for individuals and businesses. With the launch of Jomi Books, they are backing that belief by creating stories of their own. With years of experience making other people's stories shine brightly, the EditA team are now applying their expertise to Jomi Books to (hopefully) create stories that are beautiful, inspiring, and will leave a lasting impact on our world. Founder Mignionette Fair also believes in making a difference through her business, and says:

“We also know we've been blessed to be a blessing, so a percentage of each book sale will go to CRC Cares, a registered NPC and multi-social upliftment charity. In this way, we hope to help a truly amazing organisation to keep making a difference in South Africa.”

Speaking about her aspirations for the launch of Jomi Books, Mignionette adds:

“Our aspirations are rooted in the joy and wonder that books can bring into people's lives. We want Jomi Books to become a trusted source of literary treasures with stories that inspire, entertain, uplift, and make a tangible difference through the donations to CRC Cares. We also hope that we will keep "discovering" impactful stories to share with the world for many years to come.”

Anyone interested in buying a copy of ‘It's Time’ can email: admin@edita.online or send a WhatsApp to +27817570843 to get the PDF version for only R89. The Kindle version is available on Amazon (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CBQHNR5J).

Mignionette says: “Launching Jomi Books and sharing ‘It's Time’ with readers fills my heart with immense joy and gratitude. It has been a dream come true to bring the magic of storytelling to life through our own book, and I hope it inspires others to keep pursuing their dreams.”
