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.

CJ The Tall Poet

“When I first found redrosethorns, I was extremely surprised to find so many powerful pieces that I could relate to. When I first submitted my first piece here, I was so shocked when it got accepted. Writing personal poetry pieces about my identity has been somewhat therapeutic. I recently attended a redrosethorns open mic and it was very comfy."
