Editorial Leadership Circle

Red Hen Press is launching an Editorial Leadership Circle, a new community for our most passionate supporters and champions of literature.

Membership begins with an annual, tax-deductible pledge of $2,500 or more, directly supporting the vital, independent publishing work we do every day. By joining the Circle, you help champion groundbreaking books and amplify voices that deserve to be heard.

You will be part of an annual party with Red Hen’s editors, providing insights into the books you and your friends love reading. As an intellectual and a reader, you can bring valuable insights as we shape Red Hen’s acquisition future. This will also give you an opportunity to ask the editors about books on the list that you are curious about. At each of these events, a Red Hen author will be present as well.
