[edit] History Waldport Press (Oregon) is an independent American publishing company. It is employee-owned and specializes in publishing college textbooks, research in the social sciences, fiction, nonfiction, and poetry. The philosophy of the company dates to the mid-1940s when the Church of the Brethren served conscientious objectors placed in labor camps in the Pacific Northwest. The central historical figure from which the company draws its motivation to serve and to challenge temporal authority is the poet William Everson.

Waldport Press’s unique approaches to acquiring, reviewing, editing, publishing and marketing original work, combined with its low operating costs, ensure that authors enjoy unusually high profit margins. Waldport’s key strategic plan substitutes company profits for full commitment to the highest service to the newest scholarship and creative endeavors.
