The Island Reader

The Mission also publishes The Island Reader, an annual collection of writing and visual art created by island residents published by the Mission to showcase the talent of outer-island residents. Started in 2006, The Island Reader often includes entries from year-round residents from all of Maine’s sixteen inhabited islands.

Since 2006, Sunbeam, a 74-foot vessel, and its caring crew have provided a floating, winter oasis for The Island Reader’s team. The Sunbeam and its crew are an extension of the process, expertise, and resources that make publishing The Island Reader possible.

To order a hard copy of the 17th Edition, browse prior editions digitally, and understand more about The Island Reader’s impact, please visit our dedicated page on the publication.
