Haymarket House, the home of Haymarket Books, is rooted in Chicago’s rich history of resistance and ongoing struggles for liberation.

We host political, cultural, literary, and community events in our several events spaces, kitchen, library, and garden. We are committed to uplifting the work of writers, artists, thinkers, activists, educators, and everyday folks in the struggle for a better world.

Haymarket Books is committed to making our books available for free to people who are incarcerated. In an effort to support those inside who are dealing with the immense violence of the prison system we want to do what we can to connect people with radical books and opportunities for political education. We have worked for many years with organizations that send books inside, and we are expanding those efforts.

Solidarity with all oppressed people and free them all!

The Writing Freedom Fellowship awards talented emerging and established poets, fiction writers, and creative nonfiction writers impacted by the carceral system, recognizing them for their notable and necessary writing.

Developed and administered by Haymarket Books in partnership with the Mellon Foundation, Writing Freedom aims to elevate the essential literary voices and contributions of twenty writers each year, offering them crucial support.
