Hot Mess Goddess Press
Words That Rewrite the World
Every movement needs its manifesto. HMG Press is the publishing heart of our empire for books that break spells, reclaim stories, and ignite revolutions.
Here we carry our wild, spell-breaking words into the world, plus journals, planners, and notebooks that unapologetically feeds our reading and stationery addiction.
Our first release, The Little Dictionary of Reclaimed Words (Vol. 1), launches soon — a poetic lexicon of twisted words and their liberated truths.
Our second, Abracadabra, Bitch! is due in 2026.
From spellbooks to story collections, HMG Press is where language becomes legacy.

About Our Founder, Sally Jane Friday
TL;DR: Author, Hot Mess Goddess, Recovering Journalist
Words... my thing
Writing... my therapist
Chocolate... my drug of choice
Exposing Word Magic... my f*cking obsession
But of course theres a long version!
I’ve been called a lot of things, but the one that struck me was from a co author in Woman Rise:
“She’s all about the metamorphosis from intangible thoughts to physical expressions that change minds, create movements, and open hearts.”
It’s not just what I do. It’s what I live for.
I’ve been immersed in stories since I was old enough to escape into their wonder. The sort of intuitive writing that makes a six year old scribble cheeky prose under the kitchen table, that can only be refined, not learned.
And refined it has been. In the tragedy-filled pages of a scruffy journal, to the newsroom in commercial radio.
The drunken poetic scrawl on napkins & beer coasters in the far reaches of the outback.
The tear-smudged ink to my best friend after watching her die. And in the train wreck that followed.
The wild child abandon, where I completely abandoned myself.
I’ve spent the rest of my life reclaiming every piece of my true self since. A million courses, deep trauma therapy, career moves… until eventually I faced it, wrote it, felt it all, and with nothing left to lose, I published it.
I’ve since shared poetry in front of spoken word legend Adam Roa, deep dived with the linguistically electric Laurel Airica, and studied under a neuroscientist to understand how story shapes the brain, the body, and the beliefs that bind us.
With more books brewing and a publishing company, I also help others rewrite their world, right alongside me in this messy magical journey we’re on.
