Pitching the Midwest: A Live Conversation with Alec Loganbill of Plainspoken Books 5/27/26 at 6PM EST

Exciting Patreon Live Event!

Join me for a special live Zoom Q&A with Alec Loganbill, Acquisitions Editor of Plainspoken Books—the bold new nonfiction trade imprint from the University Press of Kansas!

Alec is a lifelong Kansan and proud Midwesterner on a mission to amplify authentic voices from the heartland. He’s actively acquiring strong, concept-driven books about the politics, cultures, and environments of the Midwest—think narrative journalism, sharp political commentary, inspiring memoir, zeitgeisty history, and stories with a powerful sense of place that deserve a national stage.

Whether you’re an author with a Midwest story, a writer crafting a nonfiction proposal, or simply curious about what editors are really looking for right now, this is your chance to get rare, behind-the-scenes insight straight from the source.
