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.
Our First Cultivated Story:
To Be (a Woman) by Rachel Turney
Our debut publication is a poetry collection examining womanhood through the past, the workplace, relationships, mental health, travel, and metaphor. Poetry, nonfiction, and storytelling converge in a journey of self-discovery and self-love.
Dr. Rachel Turney is an accomplished author featured in dozens of acclaimed publications. Her work takes a critical eye to the state of womanhood in society, shaped by her time in higher education and her life as a global citizen.
Release Date: May 2026

Our Next Vital Voice:
The Rose Temple by Christin Marie
We are thrilled to announce the second book to join the redrosethorns press: The Rose Temple, by Christin Marie.
The Rose Temple is a radiant feminist romantasy novelette, inspired by the goddess-centred traditions of the Bronze Age Aegean yet set in Classical-era Crete – a time when goddess reverence lingers as a quiet testament within a world already being reshaped by patriarchy. It follows a priestess's transformative journey from sacred duty, through forbidden passion and heartbreak, to a reclaimed life of authentic desire and self-created purpose.
This work was a compelling and essential choice for our bookshelf. It masterfully reclaims a historical narrative to explore timeless themes of autonomy, sacred femininity, and the courage to choose one's own path. At its heart, the story aligns perfectly with our mission: it is a profound exploration of breaking from prescribed roles to forge an authentic self, echoing the personal and collective liberation we seek to champion through all our publications.
Release Date: Autumn/Fall 2026
