About

We are tireless advocates for the arts. We support established artists and inspire new voices, growing the community and conversation." This mission statement is at the very core of our publication. Everything we do is for the benefit of the artistic and literary community. Each piece is carefully inspected and curated in our perfect bound, glossy, full-color publication, to ensure the reading experience is above average. Our contributors benefit from monetary compensation, invitations to participate in events, free publicity, and a strong community that believes supporting each other through growing conversation. It is a pleasure to publish work we truly enjoy from the many talented voices in Kansas City and beyond.

Voluntary Fees: This project accepts voluntary fees for "tip jar" submissions.

Before Submitting

We cannot guarantee that the information on this page is correct. It is not unusual for publications to evolve or close without notice. We do our best to keep up, but it isn't always possible. Duotrope listings do not imply endorsement or recommendation of the project being listed. Before submitting, you should use your own judgment to determine whether the project meets your standards.

  • Always read the full guidelines provided by the publisher.
  • Try to read at least one previous publication to get a better idea of what the editor would like to see.
  • Unless the publisher's guidelines state otherwise, always use industry standard manuscript formatting.
  • Be professional, patient, and persistent.
