Who We Are

We are an independent UK literary press founded in Australia many years ago, inspired by the revolutionary power of women's writing.

Deeply obsessed by the short-stories, diary entries and novellas of French-Cuban writer & socialite, ANAIS NIN, 8d Press pays tribute to the rich legacy of 1930s printing collectives through our curation of our exquisitely-styled editions and imprints that give a permanent voice to brave female intellects.

Led by our vision — and a global recognition that has forged pathways for over 80+ writers across continents—we merge archival dedication with the modern rebellious spirit of our writers. We do not just publish physical books; we preserve the triumphs of the literary counter-culture.
