Amherst Writers & Artists Press was founded in 1983 with two missions: to publish and support the work of emerging and established writers; and to cross boundaries of class, race and other difference by using writing as a tool of empowerment, giving voice to the silenced.
In our thirty-four-year history, we have published thirty-eight books, most of them designed by the national and international award-winning book designer, Barbara Werden. Peregrine, published since 1983, is our literary journal. We released its 31st volume of poetry and fiction last spring, making it one of the longer-lived independent literary journals in the country. Manuscripts of poetry and fiction may be sent to Peregrine during its open submission period. We encourage simultaneous submission. We are not, at this time, accepting submissions for book-length manuscripts.
