Sister Spit and City Lights Publishers
In 2012 Sister Spit made the long-desired leap from promoting and supporting up and coming queer, feminist writers to actually shepherding them into print via a collaboration with City Lights. The new imprint, City Lights/Sister Spit will publish a handful of books each year, beginning with the highly anticipated and newly released anthology, Sister Spit, Writing, Rants and Reminiscence from the Road, and going on to bring back into print Sister Spit classics such as Ali Liebegott’s The Beautifully Worthless, and new works by Beth Lisick and Dia Felix. In their 40th anniversary issue, Ms. Magazine named the anthology a "great read" of the season that honors the cultural institution that is the Sister Spit roadshow.
The mission of the City Lights/Sister Spit imprint is to publish primarily but not exclusively writings that are informed by a queer, feminist outsider perspectives. Editor Michelle Tea wishes to nurture work from people who struggle to find a place.

Fightin’ like divils for conciliation
An’ hatin’ each other for the love of God.”
