We believe feminism is more than equality —
it's a force for empowerment.
redrosethorns is a feminist independent press and literary community exploring mental health, identity, and liberation. Our mission is to create a supportive space where individuals connect with their authentic selves, find their voices, and work collectively to dismantle what holds us back. We're building toward a more equitable world through two pathways: a publishing platform for voices ready to speak their truth; and events and workshops that nurture self-worth and connection.
Whether you're here to read, write, or simply belong, you're in the right place.

What We Publish
REDROSETHORNS PRESS
We publish books that matter. Our book acquisitions are carefully selected with intention, where each title is nurtured to life, exploring themes of mental health, identity, and liberation through a feminist lens. Our growing library includes:
-
To Be (a Woman) by Dr. Rachel Turney
-
The Rose Temple by Christin Marie
REDROSETHORNS MAGAZINES
The publication that started it all. Our annual print magazine is a curated collection where each issue explores a powerful yearly theme —empowerment, feminism, and personal narrative through diverse voices and art. A tangible artefact of our community's ongoing conversation.
REDROSETHORNS JOURNAL
Inspired by the feminist practice of consciousness-raising, our online journal creates space for conversations about mental health, gender, sexuality, self-care, and empowerment. A monthly gathering of voices sharing stories that illuminate, connect, and liberate.
THORN & BLOOM MAGAZINE
Our quarterly literary publication explores self-care as a pathway to personal and collective liberation. Each issue challenges the norms that suppress individuality and self-worth, offering stories, essays, and poetry that inspire readers to break free and redefine life on their own terms.
Find Your Community. Deepen Your Journey
Within the redrosethorns membership community, we embrace the transformative power of shared stories, knowing that together, we become a force for healing and understanding.
