Blackgirl on Mars is proud to present:


Bandit Queen Press was founded in 2007 by Brooklyn-born writer Lesley-Ann Brown.

Bandit Queen Press is born out of the need for writers to exercise a symbolic and practical ownership over their work.

Bandit Queen Press is born to wipe out feelings of alienation between the creator and the creation.

Bandit Queen Press is born in protest to the publishing establishment.

Bandit Queen Press is proud to announce its first title The Organist’s Daughter by Lesley-Ann Brown.

Created on a Copenhagen Kitchen table, The Organist’s Daughter is a tribute to the unglamorous grittiness of life.

Bandit Queen Press is a movement that you can be part of. All you need is access to paper. Please submit all new title ideas to banditqueenpress@yahoo.com for a copy of our manifesto which must be adhered to before use of the Bandit Queen Press seal of approval.

Blackgirl on Mars can be heard at Homegrown's Myspace

Merry Christmas!

  One of the markets that managed to fare well during the pandemic was houseplants - here in the west we invested lots of time and money on our plant relatives. And although it's a symptom of our general mass consumption, this one didn't annoy me as the usual transactional exchanges tend to. It made sense - we were stuck indoors. And because I took many walks during the first pandemic lockdown in New York, I witnessed the fact that spring happened, relatively unobserved by the human demographic.
