Submission Guidelines

Agented Submissions: Red Hen accepts agented submissions year-round. To see a copy of Red Hen’s editorial statement, or to submit a title you represent, please email William Goldstein at marketing@redhen.org.

Unagented Submissions: Red Hen will accept unsolicited, unagented submissions only during our reading period: June 1st – June 30th. Before sending a query letter, please familiarize yourself with our list, and consider whether your work is a fit. If you believe it is, please send a query letter, and a query letter only, to marketing@redhen.org. Due to the high volume of submissions we receive, please allow for a response time of three to six months.
