Every story begins…

Our greatest historical adventures and most beautiful discoveries started at the waterside.
New learning and new understandings began from journeys launched from ports, harbours, and seashores.
We are travelling too. We are small with big ambitions. We want to make our world a better place.
Waterfront books is more than an independent publisher. We are free, liberated, and bold.

Our spirit and purpose is

Liberation

Freedom matters. Freedom to think, feel and choose.
Our publications focus on new ideas, challenging average and accepted ways to live our lives.

Power

Our publishing empowers people.
Knowledge is power.
Power creates positive, personal, and political change.

Justice

Change requires justice.
We produce, print, and publish information and ideas to help right what is wrong, build equality and reinforce our shared dignity and humanity.
