''Red Fez Publications'' was founded in 2002 by author Leopold McGinnis (with the vital support of his writing group: David McGinnis, Joan Hoekstra, Rita Simpson & Louisa Sunstrum) out of youthful optimism and a desire to break literature out of the wrinkly, old, death-grippy, status-quo-like hands of a tired and insular literary industry.<ref>[http://redfez.net/redfez/SubPage1.php?page=About Red Fez:About]</ref> The focus was initially on fiction but quickly turned to poetry as the bulk of submissions would demand. Over time it has grown to include art, comics, non-fiction, audio and video. | ''Red Fez Publications'' was founded in 2002 by author Leopold McGinnis (with the vital support of his writing group: David McGinnis, Joan Hoekstra, Rita Simpson & Louisa Sunstrum) out of youthful optimism and a desire to break literature out of the wrinkly, old, death-grippy, status-quo-like hands of a tired and insular literary industry.<ref>[http://redfez.net/redfez/SubPage1.php?page=About Red Fez:About]</ref> The focus was initially on fiction but quickly turned to poetry as the bulk of submissions would demand.
