Mission Statement

The Waywiser Press was a small independent company, with its main office in Oxfordshire UK and a subsidiary in Maryland USA. It was founded in late 2001, and started publishing in 2002.

Waywiser was a literary press, first and foremost, with a special interest in modern poetry and fiction. From time to time, however, it also issued books belonging to other literary genres – e.g. memoir, criticism, history.

The press was keen to promote the work of new as well as established authors, and did our best to rescue still others from undeserved neglect.
