Help Us Keep Publishing Work Like This
Double your impact with Jaded Ibis Press and check out our perks for donors in 2025
Dearest Feminist Literary and Readerly Community: As you know, Jaded Ibis Press is a nonprofit, feminist, independent, small press based in San Diego, CA committed to publishing socially engaged literature with an emphasis on historically marginalized voices. Starting this year, we will hold an annual fundraiser to help sustain us and meet our publishing goals for the following year. This year, we have two corporate donors who are willing to match donations up to the first $25,000. This will double your impact and help us to reach our goals for 2025 and to keep publishing important work like the new anthology edited by Dasha Kelly Hamilton, A Line Meant, available now for pre-order.
In 2024, we published six extraordinary books. Our books have been critically acclaimed and have won numerous awards, including the Foreword Indies, the American Book Fest, the IPPies, the Reviewer's Choice Awards, The Next Generation Indie Book Awards, the Crook's Corner Book Prize, the Writer's Center First Novel Prize, and the Lambda Literary Awards.
Jaded Ibis Press’ goals for 2025 include to publish nine new titles, attend the AWP conference in Los Angeles and have a booth at the book fair, and open a storefront in San Diego with a small book shop to sell our books as well as other books by independent, feminist presses with similar missions. This last goal is ambitious and we can’t do it without you!
Picture a cozy, feminist book store with plush couches and chairs, hip reading lamps, amazing books by and about badass women, and community events that raise consciousness about issues that matter, like the ongoing fight for equal civil rights of women, queer people, people of color, and people with disabilities in this country.
