We are always seeking tips for news stories, submissions for our calendar section, obituaries, and Letters to the Editor.
Please note: if you would like to submit a press release, please email it to joliver@harpswellanchor.org.
The Harpswell Anchor welcomes the submission of press releases. The Anchor exists, in part, to disseminate information from government and nonprofits throughout the community. Press releases help the Anchor fulfill this function.
The Anchor does not, however, guarantee the publication of a press release, in whole or in part. The Anchor may condense a press release for inclusion as a calendar item or news brief, may edit a press release, and may forgo publication of a press release in any form due to considerations such as space, newsworthiness, or timing.
Nonprofit organizations will receive priority over for-profit organizations in the placement of press releases.
The submission of a photo grants the Anchor permission to publish the photo. The responsibility to obtain permission from the photographer lies with the organization or person submitting the photo.
Other guidelines:
— Submit press releases to joliver@harpswellanchor.org.
— Limit press releases to 500 words or less.
— Attach photos as full-size JPG files.
— Do not embed photos in documents or in the body of an email.
— Do not reduce the size of a photo before submission.
To ensure the publication of a message in its entirety, please consider the Anchor’s sponsorship opportunities. Sponsorships both enable a business or organization to reach every household in Harpswell and help sustain the Anchor as a news source for Harpswell. For more information about sponsorships, email janice@harpswellanchor.org.

- We will only publish classified ads that are submitted through a special on-line form that you can find by going to bit.ly/anchorclassified.
- Pet Listings Policy: To protect our readers and ensure the well-being of animals, we require all pet-related ads to meet the following standards:
- We do not accept ads for the commercial sale of pets or exotic animals.
- Advertisers must reside in or have a connection to the Harpswell area.
- Ads for free or rehomed pets must include a recent photo of the animal(s), basic vet information, and local contact details.
- All listings are subject to review and may be declined at the discretion of the staff.
