I’ve made zines for a long time and now I am making books. 33editions is my micro publishing house, established in 2019.

I publish books with the same DIY ethos. This means: full ownership, a fair income and editorial control; small scale, non-corporate and delightfully raw; low cost; the lifelong learning of cool skills; alternative distribution networks; avoiding the structural and social barriers of mainstream publishing. My areas of interest are queer lit, mental health, live art and fat.
