Auwa Books is a publishing imprint founded by Questlove in 2023.
Auwa Books was announced in March 2023 as a new imprint of American book publishing company Farrar, Straus and Giroux.[1] The name Auwa is taken from a bird-call noise heard in Prince songs "Baby I'm a Star" and "Eye No".[1]
The imprint's first publication was Thank You (Falettinme Be Mice Elf Agin), an autobiography by Sly Stone written with Ben Greenman published 17 October 2023.[2] Auwa published its second book, Hip-Hop Is History, authored by Questlove and Greenman, in 2024.[3][4] Subsequent titles include works by Drew Afualo and Derrick Palmer.[5][6] Upcoming titles include work by Josh Luber[7] and potential pieces by signed authors Hanif Abdurraqib, Wesley Morris, and Jacqueline Woodson.[8]
