All Over the Map, published by the Topeka Chapter of Kansas Authors Club (2023)
On January 4, 1904, The Kansas Author's Club was organized by a group of Topeka writers, although it did not take its name until 1905. A local "Authors Club" had met in Topeka during November and December of 1903.
Three well-known District 1 members at the club's inception were Gov. Arthur Capper, publisher; Margaret Hill McCarter, best-selling novelist; and Eugene Fitch Ware, politician/newspaper editor/poet, also known as "Ironquill."
Other famous District 1 members have included Gwendolyn Brooks, Langston Hughes, Frank Pitts MacLennan, Dr. Karl A. Menninger, Lilla Day Monroe, Senator George P. Morehouse and Rev. Charles M. Sheldon.
The writers featured in this anthology are blazing their own local paths to recognition...paths that will no doubt expand with the publication of samples of their work herein.
District 1 of Kansas Authors Club, a non-profit organization, is proud of its heritage and welcomes current and future authors into its fold.
