Autonomous Press: Weird Books for Weird People.

We publish books under three different labels. Our original Autonomous Press imprint is for cutting-edge nonfiction like Neuroqueer Heresies or the immigrant memoirs Skinny Woman in a Straw Hat and The Old Village Road.


Our NeuroQueer Books imprint is for fiction, memoir, and other literary work, with a focus on themes of queerness and neurodivergence. This is the imprint under which we publish our annual genre-bending Spoon Knife literary anthology.


Our Argawarga Press imprint specializes in the stranger edges of speculative fiction––like the cyber-noir detective novel Hoshi and the Red City Circuit, the fantasy tale A Bad Place Best Forgotten, and the psychedelic sci-fi novel Wallflower Assassin.
