Unsolicited Press Declares 2025 the “Year of Womxn,” Celebrating Women’s Voices in Literature
In a time when women’s rights and autonomy are under siege, Unsolicited Press is dedicating 2025 to amplifying womxn’s voices in literature. Through its “Year of Womxn” initiative, the press will release a catalog exclusively featuring works by womxn writers, all marked by bold red covers. This striking color, inspired by historic feminists like Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Charlotte Perkins Gilman, symbolizes liberation and rebellion, making each cover a powerful protest and a testament to womxn’s voices. “Womxn are the backbone of publishing. They create, they support, they elevate the industry but are too often sidelined. Our 2025 Year of Womxn catalog is our way of championing their unparalleled creativity and storytelling,” said the team at Unsolicited Press.
