Because the large commercial publishers have increasingly abandoned poetry, which is rarely lucrative, the independent presses have become essential for the preservation of our literary culture. Please help us continue publishing important and vibrant poetry in the beautiful, durable volumes for which Ausable has become known.

Thanks to our donors!

OTHER DONOR OPPORTUNITIES (please contact us if you are interested.)

Underwrite the Ausable Fellowship. $1,000. Each year, we bring a young poet to the Press for the month of June. The Fellow receives a $1,000 stipend and the use of a private cabin, and works in the office in the mornings. The rest of the time they’re free to write. Fellows are nominated by the Warren Wilson College Program for Writers and by New York University, with whom we have an ongoing relationship. Donors will receive acknowledgment on our web site, in our catalog, and in all Fellowship mentions.

Underwrite the production of a book, or half a book. Donors will receive special acknowledgment in the funded volume, on our web site, and in our catalog. ($10,000; $5,000).
