Sheer Spite Press – Miss Read

Sheer Spite Press

Based in Tiohtià:ke (Montréal, Canada), Sheer Spite Press publishes and distributes beautiful, affordable, useful, generous, political, funny, heart-filled zines and books with a focus on supporting writers and artists who are excluded from literary establishments based on being trans, disabled, and/or poor. Strongly driven by anti-capitalist ethics, we aim to both make beautiful things affordable and move money to broke writers and artists. Work in our catalogue focuses on community-building, friendship, antifascism, mutual aid, and other work that helps readers live out their values.
