My goals in publishing are:

To publish feminist fiction, nonfiction, and out-of-print classics that address political, economic and social aspects of gender and sexuality through intimate, accessible writing. I am interested in titles which humanize feminist discourse through personal narrative, resisting academia and punditry in order to convey the day-to-day reality of individuals grappling with sexism, homophobia, and other means of marginalization.
