Co—Conspirator Press, a Risograph Self Publishing Press by and for Marginalized Communities

The Women's Center for Creative Work hosts Co—Conspirator Press, a space for creating, designing, distributing, and producing feminist content through the radical practice of self publishing. Co—Conspirator Press only publishes work by women of color and non-binary people of color, or other marginalized communities.

As Design Fellow at WCCW (2017–2018), the space allowed for a personal project to be developed, which quickly grew into a press/publisher. All Co—Conspirator books are self published, riso printed in-house, and self distributed.

In 2021 I left Co—Conspirator Press to pursue other ventures, yet the press lives on through the Feminist Center for Creative Work.
