PM Press

PM Press is an American independent publisher, founded in 2007 by Ramsey Kanaan, Craig O'Hara, and others as a vehicle for selling radical literature. The initial PM Press crew had been working at AK Press, another radical publisher that Kanaan founded, but they wanted to sell works that were not strictly from an anarchist perspective and to explore new media offerings. To that end, PM Press prioritizes works by radical authors, artists, and activists on a wide variety of topics including race, economics, and gender. Previously based in the San Francisco Bay Area, the press relocated its headquarters to Binghamton, New York in 2022. PM Press acquired Autumn Leaves, a physical used bookstore in Ithaca, New York, in 2023. By 2025, their headquarters was also in Ithaca. PM Press also has a United Kingdom branch based in Sunderland.

Large trade publishers generally accept manuscripts only through literary agents, while many independent and small presses accept direct submissions during reading periods. Before submitting anywhere, read the publisher's current guidelines, study recent books on its list, and never pay a reading or publishing fee to a traditional publisher.
