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.

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.
