The EXIT Press team in 2022. We are walking around the corner of a road together.

EXIT Press

EXIT Press was a small press I ran between 2020-2024, interested in the weird and the eerie, the haunted and the lost, the strange and the unexplained, the stuck and the broken.

From 2020 to 2024, I co-ran EXIT Press, which was:

interested in the weird and the eerie, the haunted and the lost, the strange and the unexplained, the stuck and the broken, and of course trying to find a way out of this mess.

I co-ran EXIT Press with my beloved friends Christian Kitson and Eve Michell. We'd known each other for almost fifteen years and we grew up in a place riddled with saltmarshes and rust. We came to love the same kind of art on chalk banks and green spaces whilst feeling like our small town was stuck in time, never ageing. EXIT was at least partly a response to that, and the pandemic, and the deeply-entrenched capitalist realism we were living through.

We published six publications during our lifespan: four editions of LOST FUTURES (In Search of Lost Time, Still Life, Meanwhile... and Thresholds), We can collect the keys by Clive Judd and Patrick Wray, and This Time of Life is Meant for Savages by Leonie Rowland. 

The covers of LOST FUTURES vol 1—4, We can collect the keys, and This Time of Life is Meant for Savages.
