Founded by Mark E. Cull and Kate Gale, Red Hen Press is a nonprofit literary press specializing poetry, literary fiction as well as memoirs and literary criticism. We are dedicated to advancing the arts by means of helping to support quality writing that is being ignored or overlooked by large or commercial publishers. We were established to help keep creative and stimulating literature alive. We help educate our community by donating books to schools and other institutions.  Red Hen has published more than 170 books and has established a significant cultural presence in Southern California and beyond. In 2007, Red Hen published twenty books of poetry, fiction and non-fiction, including significant works by David Mason, Maurya Simon, Chris Abani, Charles Harper Webb, and Eloise Klein Healy.  http://www.redhen.org/

Independent editor Lisa Rector specializes in late-stage story issues, sagging middles and third draft woes. She works with thrillers, suspense, mystery, historical, fantasy, YA, mainstream and literary fiction.  Services include: one-on-one story development workshops, manuscript evaluations, revision assistance plus outline and query guidance.  Lisa has worked with dozens of authors worldwide, including the U.S., Canada, Australia and The Netherlands. 

"There's a reason Lisa Rector is so popular with fiction writers... she's the best. Few independent editors can match her expertise with late-stage novel development. For help with third draft woes, or anything before or after, look no further."  – Donald Maass, The Donald Maass Literary Agency, New York City
