Arktoi Books
Arktoi Books, an imprint of Red Hen Press, publishes high-quality literary fiction and poetry by lesbian writers. It was established in 2006 by Eloise Klein Healy. The mission of Arktoi Books is to give lesbian writers more access to “the conversation” that having a book in print affords. Submissions by both new and established authors are welcome. Each year the imprint will publish a minimum of one book.
Arktoi Books is named for the arktoi or “bears,” young girls in the service of Artemis who lived for a year at her sanctuary at Brauron, east of Athens.
To date, Arktoi has published five books, with the sixth, Verónica Reyes’s Chopper! Chopper! Poetry from Bordered Lives, being released in October of 2013.
The current Arktoi Books are:
