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.

Casey Plett is the author of On Community, A Dream of a Woman, Little Fish, A Safe Girl to Love, and the co-editor of Meanwhile, Elsewhere: Science FIction and Fantasy From Transgender Writers. She is an Assistant Professor of English and Film at Ohio University and the Publisher at LittlePuss Press.

Jamie Hare is a library worker and student based in Decatur. She is the founder and facilitator of the Atlanta T4T Book Club in which transfeminine folks gather together to read and discuss works by transfeminine authors. In previous lives she has been a student of religion and worked for the Rosa Luxemburg Stiftung, an internationally operating, progressive non-profit institution for political education, where her primary responsibilities concerned socio-ecological transformation, particularly in relationship to the Global South.

The event is free and open to all people, but we encourage and appreciate a donation of $5-20 in support of the work of Charis Circle, our programming non-profit. Donate on Crowdcast or via our website: www.chariscircle.org/donate or in person at the event.
