An Actual Kansas Press

An Actual Kansas Press is a Kansas-based press designed to provide both free copies to works via pdf online, as well as physical books for bibliophiles. The Press borrows from a Ronald Johnson (a native Kansan) poem: "an actual / Kansas--the central, earthy, prosaic core of us, needing only to be seen anew."

It comes out of the need for social justice and speaking out against oppressive cultural norms.

Also, the need for such voices to be read in a timely manner.

Finally, it comes out of a Kansas place, to defy what others would see Kansas as only by reading the headlines. This is An Actual Kansas.
