[Red Hen Press @RedHenPress]

Independent publishing is facing an increasingly difficult era.

When independent presses disappear, we don't just lose publishers…we lose opportunities for new voices to be heard. We lose stories that inspire, preserve, and challenge ourselves and the world around us.

[Red Hen Press @RedHenPress]

We've published writers who challenge perspectives and illustrate diverse experiences. We've helped bring authors into classrooms, shared stories in different languages, made reading accessible for all, and built a community where literature can thrive.
