Charis welcomes LittlePuss Press publisher Casey Plett in conversation with Atlanta library worker and T4T Book Club Founder, Jamie Hare, for a celebration of feminist presses, trans writing, and making our own spaces!
LittlePuss Press is a feminist press run by trans women. They believe in printing on paper, intensive editing, and throwing lots of parties.
About the conversation partners:
