Welcome to Ward Wood Publishing
Ward Wood Publishing was set up in 2010 run in partnership by Adele Ward and Mike Fortune-Wood. We have an exciting list of poetry and fiction which are not only good reads, but they also represent fine additions to the literary scene from both previously published authors and also others new to the UK and international readership.
Our aim is to provide innovative good reads of a high literary standard in a variety of forms while also encouraging aspiring authors to work towards publication.
You can meet Ward Wood authors at our regular events. For a full schedule see our events page.
Many of our books are also available as Kindle books from the Amazon website and these are massively reduced to just £1.49 So now is the time to fill your library with Ward Wood books.
Caroline Carver - resident poet at Plymouth University
Caroline Carver took up her post as poet in residence at Plymouth University, Marine Sciences Department, on Monday March 18. She was invited to join it after the success of her commissioned poetry, which is on many of the walls of the new building as well as on the boulder outside. Caroline’s words were inscribed by the Cardozo Kindersley Workshop in Cambridge.
The building was officially opened by the Duke of Edinburgh on Tuesday October 30. When he had unveiled the boulder he turned to the Vice-Principal and asked “Who wrote these beautiful words?”
