About.

Celebrating the creative work of self-identified Chicana/o/x and Latina/o/x writers and artists with Midwestern roots or ties.

Con el Corazón en la Mano: Writing the Heartland seeks to be expansive in scope with representation from as many Midwestern states as possible: North and South Dakota, Kansas, Nebraska, Minnesota, Missouri, Iowa, Wisconsin, Ohio, Michigan, Illinois, Indiana. We are open to a wide range of intersectional topics that highlight the varied histories, cultures, and experiences of Midwestern Chicana/o/x and Latina/o/x writers. There are no restrictions on theme, content, or form. ​
