ABOUT
Co-Conspirator Press is a small publishing operation housed within the Feminist Center for Creative Work in Los Angeles. We print interdisciplinary projects, from literary works to artbooks and workbooks, with the goal of amplifying critical, intersectional feminist storytelling and offering visionary models for liberation.
Through our collaborative publishing process, we nurture authors' visions from conception to publication, and maintain long-term relationships beyond initial release, with authors receiving 40% of net proceeds in perpetuity. Our publications are intended as invitations to connect with our authors and values, and build solidarity far and wide.

As a press, it's important to us to set prices that are accessible, while still covering the cost of production and supporting our authors. You’ll notice that each book has two higher pricing tiers. If you are someone who has more resources and are able to pay more for our publications, select those tiers — you are redistributing more resources to both the press and the authors. Thank you for your support!

RISOGRAPH PRINTING
Risograph is a digital duplicator that was created in 1986 by the Riso Kagaku Corporation in Japan. Originally intended for schools, churches, and other organizations, the risograph allows for high volume printing at an affordable price.
Similar to the silk screening process, the Risograph creates a master by burning an image onto a master sheet. The master is then wrapped around a cylindrical drum where ink is forced through and applied onto paper.
Riso printing provides an affordable, sustainable, and creative alternative to traditional forms of print production.
We view it as our duty to consciously utilize our resources, creating and producing books through a more economically + environmentally sustainable model. For this reason, we prioritize risograph printing as much as possible. This process allows for a more accessible avenue to distribute intersectional feminist content to our interconnected network and beyond.
