Our values

What we stand for

Human writing

As a human-centred creative brand, we put readersโ€™ needs first, and for us that means impeccable writing. All content shared on The Foreword is 100% human-written, no AI involved. We hope that you feel these articles and recommendations share real, genuine perspectives โ€“ something that large language models canโ€™t provide.  

Supporting Australian book businesses

In most of our stories, youโ€™ll find that we link to Australian retailers wherever we can. We do understand that some shoppers prefer Amazon, so we occasionally provide links there as well โ€“ but we always aim to prioritise our local businesses.

We’re loving . . .
