About us

At Wordjar, we’re passionate about partnering with exceptional literary talent to help them share their stories with the world. Since publishing our first book, My Love, in February 2011, we’ve made poetry the heart of our work. Early collections like Kiri Gray’s Another Point of View and Catherine Labiran’s Ayisat laid the foundation for our ongoing dedication to this timeless form. Over the years, we’ve expanded to include novels, plays, and special art and photography volumes, always with the same focus: to champion creativity and craftsmanship.

Every book we produce reflects Wordjar’s commitment to both design and content. We believe that a book should be as beautiful to hold as it is to read—something that adds energy to any space, even when resting on a shelf. Our passion for literature and art drives us to create works that feel alive, offering readers more than just words on a page.

Our mission is to provide authors with an accessible path to publishing, ensuring that their work reaches its full potential. With a product-first approach, we collaborate closely with our authors, refining each book until it meets our high standards. But our commitment doesn’t stop there. Once we’ve crafted a book we’re proud of, we work hand-in-hand with our authors to bring it to readers—whether through direct-to-consumer sales or our network of trusted distribution partners.

At Wordjar, we’re more than just a publisher. We’re a community of creators, artists, and readers who believe in the power of stories to inspire, connect, and transform.
