Welcome to The Foreword



An Australian media company dedicated to helping book lovers find their next read.
What You’ll Find Here
A place to learn about books, authors and updates within the Australian literary landscape
Our mission is to create one centralised space online for Australian readers to learn more about the books they already love and discover their next favourite read.


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 canโt provide.
Supporting Australian book businesses
In most of our stories, youโll 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 . . .
