The story
Autumn House Press was founded in 1998 by Michael Simms when prominent American publishers started reducing their poetry lists and contemporary poets were left without publishers. Over time, Autumn House started publishing fiction and non-fiction titles as well as poetry. Since its founding, Autumn House has published over 100 titles, including collections of poetry, short stories, and essays as well as memoirs, novels, anthologies, and poetry chapbooks, most of which are still in print.
In 2016, founder and then-editor-in-chief Michael Simms retired after 18 years. Christine Stroud took on the role of editor-in-chief and Melissa Becker became board president.
