about
Independent Publishing for Independent Thinkers
Wayfarer Books was founded on the belief that literature should be wild, fearless, and untethered from the mainstream. We publish poetry and nonfiction that challenges, disrupts, and reimagines—a home for seekers, rebels, and truth-tellers.
More than a press, Wayfarer is a movement—dedicated to voices that demand to be heard, to work that reshapes landscapes and refuses erasure. Words are a force of nature, carving their own course like rivers through stone.
We are Wayfarer Books.
This is where the journey begins.
featured titles
Books for the seekers, the questioners, and the changemakers.
For 15 years, Wayfarer Books has been a home for fearless storytelling—publishing over 300 titles, with nearly half earning literary honors. We believe in writing that reshapes landscapes and leaves its mark.
Wayfarer Magazine
Wayfarer Magazine believes that poetry is the language of the earth—a force as wild as rivers carving through stone. We publish writing that is raw, rebellious, and untamed. If your work stands at the edges of the mainstream, whispering its truth to the wind, we want to hear it.
book reviews
Careful Reading, Considered Response.
Every book deserves to be seen, read, and remembered. At Wayfarer Magazine, we provide professional, in-depth reviews to help indie authors gain recognition in a crowded market. Whether your words whisper or roar, we’re here to amplify your voice.

A DIFFERENT PATH TO PUBLISHING
Some books don’t fit the mainstream—they demand their own path. Outpost Press is a publishing home for independent authors who believe in their work but don’t want to go it alone. A hybrid model publishing house created by Wayfarer Books, we partner with writers to publish books with expert editorial, design, and marketing support—while preserving the author’s creative control.
Wayfarer Books presently has offices in Abiquiu, New Mexico as well as Durango, Colorado. Wayfarer Books recognizes that our publishing house is situated on the ancestral lands of the Nuuchiu (Ute), Jicarilla Apache, Pueblos of New Mexico, Hopi Sinom (Hopi), and Diné (Navajo) Nations. We acknowledge the deep histories, enduring cultures, and ongoing presence of these Indigenous peoples, whose stewardship of the land predates colonization and continues today.
