explore our

mission

 

At Wayfarer Books, we believe poetry is the language of the earth. We believe words—like rivers through wild places—can change the shape of the world. We publish poets and writers and renegades who stand outside of mainstream culture—poets, essayists, and storytellers whose work might withstand the scrutiny of crows and coyotes, those who are cryptic and floral, the crepuscular, and the queer-at-heart. We are more than just a publisher but a community of writers. Our mission is to produce books that can serve as a compass and map to all wayfarers through wild terrain.

Wayfarer Books

Wayfarer Books is an independent publishing house offering full-length works of eco literature since 2012.

Wayfarer Magazine

Since 2012, Wayfarer Magazine has been offering literature, interviews, and art with the intention to inspire our readers and highlight the power for agency and change-making that each individual holds.  

Outpost Press

Outpost Press is our latest imprint offering a hybrid route for those authors who are willing to subsidize their own project.

Hybrid Imprint

OUTPOST PRESS Is our latest imprint offering a hybrid route for those authors who are willing to subsidize their own project to help shoulder the financial investment in the project, allowing us to take on the project that would otherwise be impossible due to lean budgets. Wayfarer Books’ Hybrid Track is operated as a PTO/POD model; we print through Ingram and have wholesale availability to the trade retailers (Amazon, B&N, Indie Bookstores, etc.) via Ingram. And, as with all our imprints, We offer our titles at the standard terms expected by retailers from the larger houses (45% – 55% Discount and Full Returnability). 

Environmental Impact

We are ever-mindful of our “carbon footprint”. Our books are printed on paper with chain of custody certification from the Forest Stewardship Council, Sustainable Forestry Initiative, and the Program for the Endorsement of Forest Certification. This ensures that, in every step of the process, from the tree to the reader’s hands, that the paper our books are printed on has come from sustainably managed forests.

Wayfarer Books is presently based in Abiquiu, New Mexico, on the ancestral lands of the Pueblo. The Tewa people referred to this area as Phé shúu ú, meaning “timber point.” We also acknowledge the genízaros—detribalized Indigenous people from various nations, many of whom were captured in conflicts or sold into servitude by the Spanish—for whom Abiquiu became a settlement.
