We are dedicated to promoting, celebrating and making space for women who write women’s stories.
With this aim, we established the Heroines Festival, a full-day program of women writers who reclaim women’s histories, in 2018.
We also run author-speaking events, writing masterclasses, workshops and retreats, all focused on supporting and showcasing women writers.
As a niche micro-publisher, The Neo Perennial Press publishes Heroines: An anthology of writing by women about women. We particularly have an interest in women’s history and mythology-inspired works: old texts, works poetically renewed, reimagined, adapted or recreated, and speculative fiction.
We don’t define what a woman is. Womanhood is a site of creativity, flexibility and ongoing evolution. It is for each woman to decide how to own, define and express ‘woman’ for herself.
