redrosethorns Press
At redrosethorns, our mission has always been clear: to harness feminism as a powerful force for empowerment, creating spaces and platforms where voices are found, stories are shared, and repressive systems are dismantled.
redrosethorns press is the natural extension of this work. As a small press, we are intentionally selective and will only publish one book at a time. This allows us to pour our full energy and passion into every project, ensuring each story we champion is not just published, but thoughtfully nurtured to life. We are building a curated library for a more equitable world, not a crowded bookstore.
How We Work
redrosethorns press operates as a hybrid publisher. That means we combine the best of traditional publishing with the flexibility of self-publishing.
-
You invest in production. We invest in everything else — editorial, design, distribution, and our platform.
-
We are selective. We do not publish everyone. We choose books that align with our values: mental health, identity, gender, sexuality, and liberation.
-
We distribute globally. We operate in both the US and the UK. We use IngramSpark for bookshop distribution.
-
We are in it for the long haul. We publish one book at a time. We do not rush. We nurture each project.
