The cooperative
The power of
working together
We are a non-profit publishing and cultural cooperative, owned by the people who work here.
We see books and culture as tools for understanding the present and imagining other futures. Through our imprints and projects, we connect creativity, critical thought and collective life.
Our surplus sustains our work and improves working conditions. Cooperation shapes how we publish and how we organise.
