We're excited announce our final publication for 2025: Crawlspace by Violet Kitchen! It's available for pre-order now on our website and will debut at MICE in December. Have you ever yearned to perfectly fit somewhere, cradled in a piece of the world that felt in every way intended for just you? What if it asked for something in return? Isolated and adrift at their middle school, Kel can’t help but dream about small spaces. How comforting it would be to fit somewhere perfectly, but what happens when a refuge becomes a trap? Kel’s fascination with small spaces occupies their every moment. As Kel navigates the awkward rituals of middle school, their research-fueled reveries drive them to find out for themselves what kind of stuck they want to be.

Ignatz-nominated comic Allodynia is coming out in its first-ever print run at @spxcomics courtesy of GPG! When a local hospital puts out a recruitment flyer for an experimental medical study, Tess decides to volunteer, hoping to repair their relationship with their chronically ill partner Jules. But as the study progresses, they're forced to confront their own relationship to pain — and its limits. After SPX, copies will also be available online, and it remains free to read on @violetkitchenart 's website.

My new comic, Allodynia, is now available to buy in the ShortBox Comics Fair! When a local hospital puts out a recruitment flyer for an experimental medical study, Tess decides to volunteer, hoping to repair their relationship with their chronically ill partner, Jules. But as the study progresses, Tess is forced to confront their own relationship to pain — and its limits. At 124 pages, it’s the longest comic I’ve ever made, and the culmination of much of the past year’s musing on my favorite subjects — sickness, relationships, and the nature of empathy. I hope you’ll check it out, along with the many other superb comics being offered through the Fair this month. I’m very excited for this story to see the light!

There’s less than 24 hours to go — today’s your final day to back the Vivian’s Ghost Crowdfundr! Don’t miss out on the incredible screenprinted T-shirt we’re offering via this campaign only. Thank you so much to everyone who’s helped get us this far. We have enough for the base print run, so this book will become a reality no matter what! But every extra show of support helps — we’ve still got 15% to go towards our goal. Link to the campaign is in our bio and story. Onward and upward! #indiecomics #alternativecomics #webcomics #queercomics #indiepublishing #smallpresscomics #smallpresspublishing #smallpress #viviansghost #gopressgirl

Coming Friday to Crowdfundr!! Vivian’s Ghost by Hal Schrieve is a sprawling 350-page opus of trans love, grief, and revenge, and this fall, Go Press Girl! is bringing it to print! Vivian died eight years ago, but he’s here to stay, and he won’t leave Collin alone. Somehow, his unfinished business involves a transphobic journalist, a Catholic housewife, teen angst, metaphysical journeys through Tumblr dot com, and possibly ruining Collin’s life. How can the living move on without the dead? Is it even possible? Follow the countdown to be notified when the campaign launches! #indiecomics #webcomics #alternativecomics #smallpress #smallpresspublishing #indiepublishing #smallpresscomics #queercomics #viviansghost #gopressgirl
