Ainnir Publishing is a cooperative. It is our hope that we will be able to afford many new writers the opportunity to have their work published. Ainnir welcomes submissions of written work in any style and is happy to consider visual material in conjunction with the work. We have now published five books, The Water is Wide, profile of 13 Irish artists, The Adventures of Puck, short stories by Cathal Browne, AFTER LORCA, poetry by Molly Gowen and NO VAGUE UTOPIA, poetry by Emily Cullen.

We are in the process of publishing ANTHOLOGY I - Poetry by Maureen Gallagher, Pat Jourdan, Trish Casey, Betsy Carreyette, Susan Millar DuMars and Caoilinn Hughes - which is being launched at the Cuirt International Literature Festival on Friday, 23rd April 2004, in the Town Hall at 5.30pm. www.galwayartscentre.ie/cuirt.htm Book Launch - Anthology I: Pat Jourdan,Trish Casey, Maureen Gallagher, Susan Millar DuMars, Caoilinn Hughes and Betsy Carreyette

5.30pm| Town Hall Theatre | Admission free
Galway based Ainnir Publishing's Anthology I is an exciting collection of new and unpublished work by six emerging women poets. Contributors range from the widely published such as Pat Jordan, Maureen Gallagher and Susan Millar DuMars to more tentative voices such as Caoilinn Hughes and Betsy Carreyette. The anthology also breaks new ground by publishing a series of poems by Trish Casey, one of Ireland's leading performance poets. Trish Casey and Maureen Gallagher are currently taking part in the Poetry Ireland Introductions series of readings for emerging poets nationwide. Over the past few years, all have participated in the emerging writers readings at Galway City Library and Scribbler's Cafe. Co-edited by Deborah Evers and Kevin Higgins, Anthology I provides the reader with a snapshot of Galway's poetry scene at its most vibrant.

This year, in December, we will launch The Cathal Browne Award for New Writing.

The aim is to give new writers the opportunity to have their first work published in order to give them encouragement and a literal stepping stone towards having more work published by other publishing houses. It should be noted that this opportunity is open to writers who have already been published in another medium, but wish to publish a first work in a new medium. The writers must been seen to have made efforts to develop their writing skills or have had one or more pieces published and present their work ready for editorial evaluation. The intention is that the writers help themselves by helping the cooperative. See submission pages.

Your support is appreciated. We hope you enjoy these books.
