Please join us for a panel discussion exploring the history and current state of feminist publishing as well as the current landscape for women in publishing. This special discussion features Bay Area-based current and former publishers and editors including Lex Non Scripta and Francesca Austin-Ochoa, co-founders of Aorta Magazine (formerly ArtXX Magazine); Lisa Jervis, co-founder and former editor, Bitch Magazine; and Daisy Hernandez, editor Colorlines Magazine.

Daisy Hernandez is an editor at ColorLines, the national newsmagazine on race and politics, and coeditor of Colonize This! Young Women on Today's Feminism. She's a former columnist with Ms. magazine and her personal essays have appeared in the following anthologies: Without a Net: The Female Experience of Growing Up Working Class; Border-Line Personalities: A New Generation of Latinas Dish on Sex, Sass, and Cultural Shifting; and Sex and Single Girls: Women Write on Sexuality.

Lisa Jervis is the founding editor and publisher of Bitch: Feminist Response to Pop Culture, the founding board president of Women in Media and News, and a member of the advisory board of outLoud Radio. She is currently the finance and operations director at the Center for Media Justice. In addition to her many writings for Bitch, her work has appeared in Ms., the San Francisco Chronicle, Utne, Mother Jones, the Women's Review of Books, the late and much-lamented Hues, Salon, the late and also-lamented Punk Planet, the late and lamented-by-the-few-people- who've-heard-of-it LiP: Informed Revolt, Body Outlaws (Seal Press), and Tipping the Sacred Cow (AK Press). She is the co-editor of Bitchfest: Ten Years of Cultural Criticism from the Pages of Bitch Magazine (Farrar, Straus & Giroux) and the author of Cook Food: A Manualfesto for Easy, Local, Healthy Eating (PM Press).

Lex McQuilkin is the co-founder/curatorial director for Art XX Magazine. Having been an active participant, consumer, and creator of self-published media, zines, and projects since the mid-90s, Lex has a vested interest in creating an accessible forum for artists, writers, and the community to interact and refuses to believe that the printed word is a thing of the past. In addition to exhibiting art whenever possible, Lex has curated a number of showcases for artists and musicians, worked extensively with community-run non-profit arts organizations, and maintains an active commitment to political organizing in the San Francisco Bay Area and beyond. Lex holds a BFA in Illustration and Design from Columbia College Chicago, works as a freelance artist, and lives amongst an amazing and inspiring community of people in San Francisco.
