find our titles
Every book you buy directly from us sidesteps billionaire-backed retailers and helps keep marginalized stories alive in our community.
We’re a queer/trans-owned indie press, and while our books are technically everywhere (paperback, ebook, and audiobook at local shops, Bookshop.org, iTunes, Barnes & Noble, Walmart, and Amazon) we’d much rather you support indie, queer, trans, Indigenous, immigrant, and BIPOC-owned bookstores, or buy direct from us at wayfarerbookstore.com.
Wholesale inquiries? Wayfarer titles are available through Ingram with standard trade terms and lifetime returnability, with print bases in the US, EU, UK, and Australia global fulfillment.
we are on native land.
Wayfarer Books is based in the San Juan Mountains near Mesa Verde, on the lands of the Ancestral Pueblo, the Southern Ute, the Mountain Ute (the Weenuchiu), the Diné (Navajo), and the San Juan Southern Paiute Nations. We honor the generations of Indigenous communities who have lived in, stewarded, and maintained these lands for thousands of years. We recognize that this land was taken through colonization and displacement, and we acknowledge the ongoing presence and contributions of Indigenous peoples, past, and present. As a company rooted in stories and knowledge, we commit to listening, learning, and supporting Indigenous voices, sovereignty, and wealth redistribution.
