Have you ever really looked at an illuminated manuscript? One page is a lot – a lot of color, a lot of language – an ecstatic dance written down.

Have you ever really listened to a queer or trans story? They’re vibrant tales, as old as time and as layered as the ground beneath us.

We’ve seen the chaos and the light, the feelings and the tangle, the shouting joy and the quiet embrace. We’ve heard the stories that say, “We’re whole people. We’re a whole community. We’re a whole past, a whole now, and a whole future.” 

We’re here to make it easier to fill your heart and mind with all the wild human-ness that our community holds. We’re here to hold up an entire hallway of mirrors and glory in the brilliance that every single reader sees reflected.

We’re Antithesis Press.

Based in the Pacific Northwest, we’re a small press that enables some of the truly amazing queer fiction that’s either been self-published or not previously published to have a route to your shelves.

We also provide non-Bezos, encryption optional, ebook distribution.

We’re aiming to launch our first books late in 2025, so check back for updates!

If you’re an LGBTQIA+ editor (developmental / structural / line / copy or proofreader), graphic designer, or illustrator, and you’re looking for freelance work, please get in touch.
