NOMADIC PRESS

PUBLISH · HOME BUILD · STEWARD · CIRCULATE

We are proud to be headquartered in Oakland, California, supporting local authors, publishers, and printers, and growing together. Through publications, events, and active community participation, we weave together platforms for intentionally marginalized voices to take their rightful place in the world of the written and spoken word.

Now there is also a place you can walk into. Nomadic Bookshop, in Northlake Oakland, is our community-rooted bookstore and home to the second chapter of the press, with publishing restarting in 2026.
