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: Spring 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, set against the backdrop of a Bronze Age Aegean society centred on goddess worship. 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
Christin Marie is a Florida native and London-based novelist, poet, and blogger whose work weaves mysticism, ancient Greek historical myth, and the inner landscapes of the heart into sensory-driven prose. Her poetry is a textured, lyrical exploration of love, longing, spirituality, and transformation. She's the creator of the e-course Radiant Quill: Living and Writing in Your Essence, which helps writers and creatives cultivate a sustainable, soul-led creative flow. The Rose Temple is her debut romantasy novelette, inviting readers into a richly imagined world where devotion, desire, and destiny converge.
