Sticky Fingers Publishing is an intra-dependant press based in South East London, run by Kaiya Waerea and Sophie Paul. We are a feminist, queer, disabled-led publisher producing experimental non-fiction at the intersection of academia, visual culture, art, design and performance.

Sticky Fingers Publishing put together open call anthologies, commission essay collections, and produce print-based ephemera with our Risograph RP3700. We frequently work with an expanding roster of associate editors and producers. To celebrate the work we do we organise events in collaboration with Donna the First at queer bars in London and beyond.
