We Still Exist

About

We Still Exist is an independent books publisher and literary nonprofit committed to rescuing, preserving, and amplifying marginalized, overlooked, and historically erased voices in literature. Where the lost voices are protected, we curate, edit, and publish memoirs, essays, fiction, and archival projects that combine rigorous scholarship with compassionate storytelling—bringing neglected stories back into print with thoughtful design, accessible editions, and community-centered distribution.

Brand values

At our core we champion voice, stewardship, and integrity: we prioritize authors whose perspectives have been marginalized, care for source material with archival responsibility, and publish with ethical transparency. We believe in community-led curation, investing in long-term relationships with writers, scholars, and readers to ensure stories are preserved, contextualized, and circulated with respect, and we measure success by cultural impact rather than just sales.
