About Scablands Books

  • Scablands Books produces intrepid literature written by Inland Northwest writers.
  • We're based in Spokane, Washington.
  • We're an offshoot of the new literary organization Scablands Lit, a branch of INK Art Space, which hosts a variety of literary events in the Inland Northwest.

What We Need

  • Scablands Books wants to pay Ellen and Tim $1,000-$2,000 a piece for their manuscripts, the standard advance given when a poetry collection wins a manuscript contest.
  • We need approximately $1,500 or more per book to cover printing costs. We plan to produce 300 copies of each title.
  • We would ideally like to pay local designer Keely Honeywell $500 for each book.
  • We also hope to pay editor Maya Jewell Zeller (author of YESTERDAY, THE BEES and RUST FISH) $250-500 for each book.
  • Additional monies, if raised, will go toward promotional funding for the titles, such as travel costs to high profile events like AWP or the PNBA, and will support another of Scablands Books' authors, Simeon Mills.

The Impact

Your money will stay local: We will print the books with a local printer, Gray Dog Press. Ellen Welcker and Tim Greenup are both talented Spokane authors, beloved in the writing community here, as are editor Maya Jewell Zeller and designer Keely Honeywell. By publishing their work and promoting it locally and nationally, we advance Spokane's position as one of the major literary hubs of the Northwest.
