J.K. Fowler is hesitant to use the word “uplift” in describing the efforts of Nomadic Press, the nonprofit he founded in 2011. Particularly for a small nonprofit publisher located in Oakland, the idea of lifting up writers and artists — many of whom come from marginalized backgrounds — might pose a problem.

“The agency of the author pre-exists the publisher,” Fowler says in Nomadic Press’ office in uptown Oakland. “People of color and q***r people of color, women, trans folks — they have been uplifting themselves forever. It doesn’t take a publisher to uplift them.”
