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 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 →

What We Do

We pick outstanding books in history, mythology, languages, and culture. Every book featured on Skriuwer.com earns its spot because we think it offers real value to curious readers. We link directly to Amazon so you can buy from a trusted retailer with reliable shipping and returns.

Affiliate Links

As an Amazon Associate, we earn a small commission when you click our links and make a purchase, at no extra cost to you whatsoever. These commissions help keep the site running and allow us to keep finding great books to recommend.
