Editorial Focus

Ruadán (pronounced ROO-ah-dawn) Books is an independent publisher focusing on dark thrillers and speculative fiction. They have a passion for raising up new talent as well as working with experienced authors, and especially welcome writers from marginalized demographics.

Tips From the Editor

Ruadán editors want speculative fiction stories, dark thriller stories, and genre-bending tales that explore the darkness in all of us. We expect deeply flawed characters, sweeping settings, and gritty detective work.
