Monica Fernandez

Monica Fernandez graduated from the University of California, Irvine cum laude with a BA in English with an emphasis on Creative Writing, and from City University London with a MA in Creative Writing and Publishing. She has had several short fiction and creative nonfiction pieces published in The Chaffey Review, Rind Literary Magazine, Scribendi, The Left Coast Review, Creepy Gnome, and Pure Slush Magazine’s Envy anthology. She is Filipina-American and a huge film and theatre enthusiast.

Monica manages the media and publicity for all Red Hen’s books. She arranges our participation in literary events across the country, promotes book news, reviews, and press publicity across our social media networks and contacts, connects authors with media and interview opportunities, liaises with journalists for media coverage, and liaises with Foreign Rights and Film Rights agents for prospective sale of language and film rights. Her dream is to help Red Hen Press become a worldwide household name. Also, a few book-to-screen adaptations would be pretty cool.
