The panel is called Feminism and Publishing a discussion held at this years first Feminist Writers Festival at the Network Day Friday August the 26th in Melbourne, Australia. ‘Feminist writers need feminist publishers. But not all feminist writing is a manifesto, and not all feminists would agree with it anyway. So how do editors navigate the complexities of publishing as a feminist act? With Susan Hawthorne (Spinifex Press), Zoya Patel (feminartsy) & Marisa Pintado (Hardie Grant Egmont)’

So what is Feminist Publishing/Publishers and what makes them different from the mainstream publishers and publications? And in Australia who are some of those feminist publishers and what kind of things do they promote? How do they include Diversity and why is it important to feminist publishers? What of the past, and what of the future of feminist publishing?
