Autumn House is thrilled to announce that we won the 2025 AWP Small Press Publisher Award.

We would like to thank the judges, the folks who nominated us, everyone at AWP for this honor as well as the AHP community whose hard work and dedication makes our mission possible: our editors, book designers, board members, interns, volunteers, readers, and of course, our talented authors.

A big congratulations to the other finalists, Alice James and Tia Chuchu, it is an honor to be in your company, and we so respect the work that you all put out into the world.

Autumn House could not do this work without the support of our community and so thank YOU too for supporting us over the years. We look forward to celebrating with you next year in Baltimore!
