Permanently Closed: This project is permanently closed to submissions (July 2023). We provide the following information as an archive.

About

Boundaries and Bridges is a story collection from both incarcerated and unconfined writers to be distributed by portable story dispensers inside and outside of carceral settings in Alaska. Our inaugural collection theme, Boundaries and Bridges, invites writing and art that explores connection and disconnection. We are currently accepting submissions of stories, comics, creative nonfiction, and poems, written and image-based, that cross boundaries and build bridges between inside and outside of jails and prisons in Alaska.
