Books with Purpose
The world faces a climate emergency, growing levels of inequality, and attacks on marginalised groups. Books play an important role in raising awareness of social and environmental issues, challenging assumptions and stereotypes, whilst providing a lasting outlet for diverse voices to be heard.
Welcome to Arkbound
We are a charity book publisher based in Bristol and Glasgow. Our aim is to support authors from disadvantaged and diverse backgrounds to get their voices heard, especially for writing that covers important social and environmental themes. The Arkbound Foundation furthers this through workshops, events and mentoring. Since 2015, we have published a range of books in fiction and non-fiction, with a list of available books here. New book submissions are welcomed, although we usually focus on authors who have been supported through the Arkbound Foundation.

Diana has worked mainly in the charity sector since the turn of the century. The experience started to make her question the economic system, which seemed to be creating unintended negative consequences in society and in the environment. She took over the management of the Bristol Pound in 2018 and decided to share the story of the organisation she loved. Diana lives in Bristol, has two adult daughters, and enjoys walking and dancing in her spare time. Her book, ‘Value Beyond Money‘, uncovers the fascinating story of the Bristol Pound, whilst exploring radical economic models in the face of urgently needed change.

Revisiting The Matrix
‘Woe betide those who delve deep, for in the darkness they may come face to face with monsters.’ And yet it is in diving deep that we make real discoveries. The world is not some uniform, abstract layer of information, but rather an ever changing ocean. Who would spend their lives floating on the surface, daring not to look up or indeed dive into the depths below?
