Publisher Highlight: Fieldmouse Press

Founded in 2019, the comics publisher Fieldmouse Press is based out of Grass Valley in California. Their House focuses on introspective text, exploring inner-emotions and personal experiences. Ranging from micro-comics to full volumes, works like Feather (Cohen, 2024), explore the act of creation and development. a rootbound plant needs space to grow (Zhu, 2025) examines the idea of love. A Scientific Study of Transsexuality (Woodiwiss, 2025), in turn, explores the sensual beauty of the trans body through the medium of a fictional scientific journal.[1]

To produce these phenomenal works, Fieldmouse sometimes runs Kickstarts to raise the funds to publish. Readers can find more information about the House’s book releases as well as their campaigns on their Instagram page.
