FREEAIR Books & Publishing is a nonprofit, minority- and women-owned online bookstore and publisher based in Columbia, Missouri. We're dedicated to illuminating repressed voices, increasing literacy rates, and building a more connected, empowered community through the transformative power of books.

Our curated collection amplifies diverse stories and lived experiences—offering a platform for those historically excluded from traditional publishing spaces. We believe everyone deserves a voice, regardless of academic or institutional background. Whether you're a reader, a writer, or a dreamer, you belong here.

At FREEAIR, we view books as a tool for healing, expression, and social change. By creating an inclusive, community-centered environment, we offer not just access to literature, but a space for growth, conversation, and collective transformation.

Support our mission: Every purchase helps fund our literacy programs, youth publishing initiatives, and efforts to make reading accessible for all.

Join us—and let’s rewrite the story together.
