Manifesto

Fifthestate is the idea of editors and authors at Press Books, borne out of a passion for the subjects around which we’re publishing.

Fifthestate is a place where writers can go to post opinion and debate, try out new material, and where readers can fight back on all the issues that interest them.

We very quickly realized this could all be accomplished by a collective blog, so here it is. As far as humanly – and legally – possible we want to make everything open, free and good. And fifthestate very much hopes you’ll get involved to help it shape and grow.
