Switchback Books

Switchback Books is a nonprofit feminist press publishing poetry by women. Our Mission Switchback Books challenges gender inequity in literary publishing by producing and promoting books of poetry by women, including transgender women and all other female-identified individuals. Publishing exclusively women poets comprises a feminist act. We aim to change the unbalanced ratio of genders represented in literary publishers’ catalogs, making women’s voices and perspectives accessible to the literary community and the general public. Our Vision Switchback Books envisions a literary landscape that celebrates the multiplicity of women’s voices through equal representation in publishers’ catalogs and review venues.
