Our Story

From Dreams to Day One.

How We Began

North Bound Books began in the Summer of 2025 as a self established private publishing imprint for fifteen year old Esther (E. R.) Ware. At the time, North Bound Books was JUST a name to be associated with the books she was self publishing - but then she started dreaming. 

Towards the end of 2025, she became more and more aware of the lack of oppurtunities for young authors who were trying to get their books 'out there' - there were so many unasnswered questions, how do I do it? Is my book even good enough? Will anyone read it? 

And so, North Bound Books was born - home to Faith Focussed Fiction, Books that glorify God, and crucially, talented, young, Christian, creatives, who are ready to get their story out into the world. 

Are you here for the journey? 

Hey! I'm Esther!

Or E. R. Ware, I'm the sixteen year old author, Jesus-lover, outdoor enthusiast, and founder of North Bound Books. 

I've been home educated my whole entire life, live on a smallholding in the English Countryside with my family and two horses, and I write books (lots of books!)

 I'd love for you to get in touch and tell me about your writing dreams!
