Spring 2026
Fernwood Publishing's Spring 2026 season features discussions of status, authoritarianism, and reclamation. Writing has been difficult for our authors during this time of multiple fires and heartbreaks, but these books demand the transformation that is within our grasp. They demand the political will to transform oppressive bureaucracies clinging to the status quo that serves so few of us. And they show us how possible it is to change our social structures for collective benefit. While precarity increases through the functions of bureaucracy, citizenship, migration, and displacement, the analysis in these books remains optimistic—why write at all if not to alleviate our isolation and show others like us who we are on our own terms? When we publish these books, it is because we refuse to be silent in the face of growing authoritarianism. And we know that each word has the potential to move its reader to action.
