WordFarm is a small, independent, literary press based in Seattle, Washington. WordFarm publishes literary fiction, nonfiction and poetry.

History

WordFarm was founded in 2003 by a small group of Chicago-area writers, editors and designers who worked together at InterVarsity Press. The initial vision for the press was to publish a quarterly, literary journal that focused mainly on midwestern writers and poets. The focus shifted to publishing books with the release of John Leax's Grace Is Where I Live in 2004. WordFarm has continued to publish 2-3 titles per year in the genres of poetry, fiction and non-fiction.
