Another very full weekend at ✨ Thank you to everyone who came by to say hello and to support us. It was also the first book fair release of Rachel's new book, Die Alp an sich, published with Poets & Traitors Press!

Our fundraiser ends next week after December 2nd, or Giving Tuesday. Please put in your final orders, and if you are interested in our new prints, send us a message!

We don't do this too often, so here is our second ever fundraiser! We're selling our books and prints online just for the next few months, alongside preorders for our upcoming anthology which will be released in spring 2026. We also have a section for stand alone donations, and all links are in our bio.

Your support completely funded our first book, Lost Cities, in 2015! Today, donations will go towards public programming of our free workshops, printing costs of the anthology, and compensation for our writers.

Next year, we plan to become a 501(c)3 nonprofit so our funding can come from more public grants, but until then your help is greatly appreciated ✨

We had the sweetest tenth (or eleventh?) birthday party this Saturday at with writers Christine Shan Shan Hou Lalo Mackenzie .tha.muse and Larissa Pham and musician Treya Lam

Thanks to everyone who came and to those who have supported us and participated in our publications over the years! It’s been a long journey from artist books to community storytelling projects like Impermanent Earth to the mixture of community engaged workshops and publishing we do today, and with your help, we look forward to the next ten years.

This month we're hosting an online fundraiser to help find our next book with all our books and prints available for purchase on our website, as well as preorders for our upcoming anthology.

Depending on how you count it, it's been either ten or eleven years since we first started Oreades Press!

We had such a fun time at this weekend with meta miniatures from Ben Denzer, a wonderfully offbeat performance by Ray Fenwick and so many beautiful handmade books! Thanks for everyone who stopped by, and to the inspiring fellow creatives and art book organizers who made this possible.

Last call for submissions! We've had so many wonderful poems, but we are particularly seeking essays and articles in our final days of the open call.

We had a wonderful time last night hosting our first book binding workshop at and sharing stories, memories, and plant facts.

Thank you to everyone who attended and brought such warm energy and creativity, and a big thank you to Center For Book Arts for providing the space and resources for this experience!

One more reminder that our extended call for pitches is until next Thursday, July 31st and our general open call is open until Friday, August 15th!

For our next print publication around the theme of Earth, we are looking for research based essays, thought pieces, articles, and interviews with scientists, community leaders working with climate activism, and other culture bearers working around environmentalism. We are also accepting some poetry and artwork strongly relating to our theme, including photo essays.

As a small independent press and project, we will be compensating contributors with copies of the printed book, and will be hosting a fundraiser later this year to fund honorariums. Please feel free to contact us by email, [email protected], or IG message if you have any questions.

Thrilled to announce our first open call in a long time for our new print publication series! Continuing our dedication to environmental storytelling, this series will bridge the gap between scientific research and local community action.

Our first publication will focus on earth. Earth encompasses a wide range of themes, from plants to soil profiles, fungal connections, and rock, and we are looking for experienced writers and scientists, farmers, or community leaders working with earth, including indigenous groups. We want to uplift the voices of experts in their fields.

Please send us non-fiction essays, thought pieces, articles, and short poems through Google Forms, link in bio. Submissions are open between June 1 and July 31. We are accepting pitches for articles and interviews until June 30th.

Our Project

Impermanent Earth is an experimental art project that aims to collect the experiences of people around the world and more specifically, their memories of places they’ve seen alter or disappear. As the project grows and more entries are added, we hope to gain a better understand of the effect of climate change is having on our lives and how people in other locations are dealing with and adapting to that change.
