Selected authors will receive notice of our intent to use their work(s) as well as a contract allowing us one-time publishing rights to their work. All proceeds from book sales will go to support local libraries through the Long Beach Public Library Foundation (http://www.lbplfoundation.org/) so the compensation for submissions is sadly limited to only an e-vite to our launch party.
