PM authors presenting at the 2026 Seattle Anarchist Book Fair on Saturday and Sunday September 26th and 27th at the Vera Project.

Saturday September 26 from 1:30pm – 3pm

Writing into the Crisis: New Queer/Trans Books on Accountability, Resistance, and Loss

A reading and conversation between longtime anarchists, writers, artists, organizers, troublemakers, and co-conspirators discussing their new books, Cultural Capital Doesn’t Pay the Rent by Jessica Lawless (PM Press) and Terry Dactyl by Mattilda Bernstein Sycamore (Coffee House Press). Spanning from the 1980s to the present in both memoir and fiction, these books depict radical possibility and peril in Seattle, from Home Alive to the protests of 2020. With a focus on friendship, failure, and resistance amidst never-ending grief and heartbreak, join us for an intimate, incisive conversation.

Sunday, September 27th from 11:30am – 1pm

Seahorses: Trans, Nonbinary, and Gender-Expansive Pregnancy and Family-Building

Trans+ joy and reproductive choice are powerful forces of autonomy and freedom from authoritarianism. Join us for a conversation and visioning session about trans, nonbinary, and gender-expansive family building and reproductive choice. This panel springs from the recent anthology Seahorses: Trans, Nonbinary, and Gender-Expansive Pregnancy, edited by Simon Knaphus with contributors including other workshop presenter(s). Cis allies and co-conspirators are welcome.

Susan Simensky Bietila, author of Front Lines: A Lifetime of Drawing Resistance, and others at the Brooklyn Book Festival on Sunday, September 27th at 12noon at the Center for Brooklyn History, 128 Pierrepont St. Check out the book fair website here.

Women Changing History

Across fiction, biography, and memoir, three new graphic novels show the motivations, agency, and bravery of intelligent women up against powerful men and totalitarian armies. Andrea Chalupa (Mrs. Orwell) dives into the life of Eileen Blair, poet and wife of George Orwell, who accompanied him to Spain when he chose to fight against Franco’s fascist army. Susan Simensky Bietila (Front Lines: A Lifetime of Drawing Resistance) illustrates her full life as an activist, moving from the pioneering second-wave feminist newspaper RAT to the World War 3 Illustrated comics collective while building and deploying protest art for decades of social justice movements. And Krystal Quiles adapts Julia Alvarez’s In the Time of the Butterflies, which studies the lives, loves and failures of the Mirabal sisters, based on real women who resisted the dictatorship of Trujillo in the Dominican Republic. Moderated by Meg Lemke, Publishers Weekly editor and editor in chief of MUTHA Magazine.
