ABOUT FHR
For 27 years we have sought to discover and redefine regional writing by publishing work with a particular interest in the Midwest region, including its connection to ethnicity, gender, and personal relationships.
We are produced by the Creative Writing Program at Emporia State University, in the Donald Reichardt Center for Publishing and Literary Arts.
