Atlantean Publishing

Atlantean Publishing is a British small press that has been going for nearly 20 years and is based in Southend-on-Sea, Essex, UK. The press is run by its founding editor DJ Tyrer, who does almost all the related work. It produces several serial publications and numerous one-off releases, specialising in poetry and short fiction, both 'general' and 'genre'.Atlantean is a non-profitmaking enterprise; in fact, it is loss-making. The name, of course, derives from Atlantis.

==Aims==
The aims of Atlantean Publishing are:
*To provide free and at-cost publications for readers looking for something a little different;
*To provide a place of publication for previously unpublished writers;
*To provide an outlet for poems and the sorts of short or uncategorisable stories that are seldom seen in mainstream publications;
*To put the merit of the contributions first, rather than accepting work on the basis of the author's past publication credits;
*To encourage the art of writing outside the constraints of the mainstream or preconceptions of genre, form or readership.

The press produces five regular magazines together with an increasing variety of other print publications, all in its distinctive 'no-frills' style:
*The 'zines: Monomyth, The Supplement, Awen, Bard and Garbaj, plus an occasional online poetry supplement, Awen Online.
*Irregular poetry series: The Bards, Xmas Bards, Yellow Leaves and Xothic Sathlattae are descendants from Bard with specific individual remits, all produced in the same 'broadside' format.
*Numerous collections of poetry or prose (or both), in A5-format booklets and larger anthologies.
There are also a few products in the back catalogue that, whilst not strictly Atlantean, were produced in association with them; not to mention some aborted publications that have not (as yet) seen the light of day, but have been considered worthy of note on the wiki. Those 'zines, broadsides, anthologies, booklets, etc. that have been printed now number between them a grand total of over 500 titles.
