We are Revol Press
A new left wing publisher, author-run and oriented, dedicated to putting out solid left wing theory
Welcome to the Revol newsletter
Revol Press was founded in 2023. Our goal is to revive countercultural dreaming alongside incisive materialism, emphasizing quality over ‘edgy’ content and hot takes, putting out considered yet incisive reflections in a timely manner.
We aim to support established writers and discover new talent, prioritizing fair royalties, ongoing dialogue, and an emphasis on quality essays and books that promote formal and theoretical innovation.
Revol is here to reassert the creative opposition of the author, as a community.
Where once you paid lip service to the revolution and were considered credible, now you can build something revolutionary without compromise.
The Revol team
We are Mike Watson, founder and editor of Revol Press, and Bram E. Gieben, associate editor and a Revol author. Together, we co-host Theorize And Be Damned, the Revol podcast, where we speak to authors, critics and theorists about their work, including interviews with upcoming Revol writers.
Here on Substack, we’ll be publishing:
exclusive essays by Revol authors and special guests
podcasts, interviews and audio from Revol guests, and our favourite thinkers
excerpts from upcoming projects
call-outs and opportunities to publish with Revol
news about events and live appearances
Thanks for subscribing. If there’s anyone you would like us to feature here or on our show, please let us know in the comments.
