Launch Point Press is a small press publisher[1] of lesbian literature based in Portland, Oregon.[2]

History

[edit]

Launch Point Press (LPP) is a lesbian-oriented press with the goal of publishing quality works by newer authors just “launching” their careers or by experienced authors “re-launching” their work. LPP is on the list of women's presses "dedicated either wholly or to a significant degree to publishing material written for, by, or about women. Many of them started during the 'second wave' of feminism."

The primary focus of LPP is lesbian fiction: lesbian romance, lesbian crime fiction, and lesbian speculative fiction/sci-fi/fantasy novels.[3] A typical production year includes 8 - 10 trade paperback releases.

Effective January 1, 2023, the founder of the press, Lori L. Lake, sold it to new owners Jodi Zeramby and Peggy Zeramby.[4] On January 1, 2025, Jodi Zeramby and Peggy Zeramby welcomed, as a sister press, Desert Palm Press, another lesbian-oriented and established small press, established by Lee Fitzsimmons.[5]
