This project is focused on drawing out both the common links that bind us and on the clashes and contrasts that make us unique. We think of it as an opportunity to create an open-minded, unassuming platform for discussion and self expression. Funny or sad, profound or subdued: we are interested in all of it.

We are looking for nonfiction prose and poetry, as well as black-and-white artwork and photography.

If you have something interesting to say (or an interesting way to say it) about this inexplicable, unpredictable period of your life, we welcome your submission.

We are asking for previously unpublished works and are willing to reimburse you up to $1000 based on the quality of your piece and the success of the book. However, the purpose of this project is not to start a publishing empire or supplement our income - we are doing this because we want to help create something meaningful.

We must however acknowledge that depending on the quantity, quality and content of submissions, we must exercise some discretion as editors when selecting which pieces will best benefit readers. We will respect your confidentiality and we will do our best to fairly judge submissions and keep you actively involved in the editing process.
