About Us

Skriuwer means “writer” in Frisian — the ancient language spoken in Friesland, the northern province of the Netherlands. It's a fitting name for a site built around a love of books and the written word.

Who We Are

Skriuwer.com was founded by Auke, an author and publisher based in Harkema, Friesland, Netherlands. With a deep passion for books on history, mythology, language learning, and culture, Auke started this site to help readers discover the best titles across these niches — books that are genuinely worth your time.

Our small international team of authors and editors spans Friesland, France, and Spain. A portion of proceeds from our books supports De Fryske Wrâld, a nonprofit foundation dedicated to preserving the Frisian language and culture. Meet the full team →
