The Feminist Press publishes books that ignite movements and social transformation. Celebrating our fifty-two-year legacy, we lift up insurgent and marginalized voices from around the world to build a more just future. FP publishes 12–15 books a year, and I acquire and edit the majority of the list, both fiction and nonfiction. I also oversee sublicensing and foreign rights.

SEEKING: As an editor, I seek projects from underrepresented perspectives that provide fresh, nuanced takes on issues around gender and sexuality. In fiction, this could take the form of a classic feminist novel that has never before been translated into English, or an experimental queer or trans story playing with language in a political, edgy way. In nonfiction, I gravitate toward literary memoirs and short-form manifesto-type writing. In general, I'm looking for books with a strong voice that will inspire much-needed feminist dialogue and move the cultural conversation forward. Some examples of works I've acquired include Tastes Like War by Grace M. Cho (a National Book Award finalist for Nonfiction); Fiebre Tropical by Julián Delgado Lopera (Winner of a Lambda Literary Award for Lesbian Fiction); Happy Stories, Mostly by Norman Erikson Pasaribu, translated by Tiffany Tsao (Longlisted for International Booker Prize); and Black Box: The Memoir That Sparked Japan's #MeToo Movement by Shiori Ito, translated by Allison Markin Powell.
