Wandwed, an imprint of Rowanwood Productions, is an independent print and digital publisher of romantasy (romance and fantasy) fiction, games, and more. Conceived in 2023 and established in 2024.
Rowanwood Productions was formed with a goal of creating and celebrating that thing which
makes us essentially human: good stories. Whether we are sharing the stories as serials, novellas,
books, games, or podcasts, each tale told serves as a portal to another world which helps us gain
a better understanding of this one and our place in it.
