Our plan is to read through June 1, 2016 (the submissions cut-off date), choose by July 1, 2016, and then go to press.

Call for poems
If you are a poet living in Kansas, Missouri, or Nebraska, please submit up to three poems (no longer than six pages). We are hoping to publish a 150-page book.
We do not know how many will submit, but we promise to choose the best and diverse work we can. We encourage, people of color, LGBTQ individuals, people with disabilities, members of ethnic minorities, foreign-born residents, and veterans to submit.

Call for artwork
Artists living in Kansas, Missouri, or Nebraska are encouraged to apply for the front and back cover art. There is no fee for submitting art. Two free copies will be given to the winning artist. We only ask for permission to use your work for the cover and marketing.

If published, we cannot offer any royalies or payment, as this is truly a zero-profit venture.
However, we can offer one free book to each contributor who is chosen. Also, we will offer contributors copies, including to those who are not chosen, for $8. The cover price will be $12.
Any additional funds earned will go to purchasing copies to be sent to libraries for free. In the long term strategy, we will look into providing free copies for young adults through libraries, etc.
In other words, no one will profit from this. Instead, we are volunteering our time for this effort.
To ensure this, there will be reporting here for transparency reasons.

Thank you for your consideration!
