Antrim House was founded in 1990 to promote the work of New England poets and has been especially active since 2001. New England poets who have produced a body of work sufficient to create a chapbook or full-length collection are invited to submit 3 poems (no more than 5 pages) as a sample. Send your work with a stamped, self-addressed envelope or e-mail address to Antrim House, P.O. Box 111, Tariffville, CT 06081. You will receive a response as quickly as possible, though your poems will not be returned. You may also submit your sample electronically to eds@antrimhousebooks.com.Should your MS. be accepted for publication, the publisher (an award-winning author of many poetry collections) will be pleased to offer editorial advice and work with you to perfect your forthcoming book. And he will see to it that this book is a thing of beauty, working collaboratively with you concerning every aspect of the book's design, from cover to font selection and page layout. He will also be happy to assist in the selection of those whose comments appear on the back cover. You will never deal with an intern or an assistant, only with the publisher himself.

Our marketing includes a) featuring titles on the Antrim House website--with biographical and critical commentary; pictures of poet and book cover; sample poems; ordering information; upcoming events; and study guide for use in classrooms, book groups, etc.; b) submitting new books and pictoral material to reviewers such as the Books Editor at The Hartford Courant; c) producing a variety of promotional material (e.g., news release, order form, bookstore display); and d) submitting books for national awards. Antrim House authors are asked to do as much as possible to arrange their readings/book-signings, distribution to bookstores, and other sorts of marketing/promotion. However, the publisher provides considerable support by calling upon his knowledge of the literary community in Connecticut and beyond. He has been an active member of that community for many years and for nine years directed the Sunken Garden Poetry Festival. His credits include many awards from Connecticut and national arts organizations, including a fellowship from the National Endowment for the Arts and a Lifetime Achievement Award from The Connecticut Center for the Book.
