SUMMARY:PFN - Halfway Down the Stairs\, Theme: "Frontiers"
DESCRIPTION:Fiction OPEN\n\nWe accept fiction related to the theme of the issue. The fiction editors are looking mostly for short stories\, but we are happy to consider well-crafted flash fiction. We don’t want to be too strict with the guidelines\, because we appreciate originality\, creativity\, and stories that are off the beaten path. We like stories that grab us from the beginning\, make us think\, and keep us enthralled. Stories should be written confidently and fluidly\, avoiding too many adjectives or too much dialogue.

SUMMARY:PF - The First Line: "Rayna sat in front of the mirror removing her makeup and wondered who she would discover underneath"
DESCRIPTION:The purpose of The First Line is to jump start the imagination-to help writers break through the block that is the blank page. Each issue contains short stories that stem from a common first line; it also provides a forum for discussing favourite first lines in literature. The First Line is an exercise in creativity for writers and a chance for readers to see how many different directions we can take when we start from the same place. \nFiction: All stories must be written with the first line provided. The line cannot be altered in any way\, unless otherwise noted by the editors. The story should be between 300 and 5\,000 words (this is more like a guideline and not a hard-and-fast rule; going over or under the word count won’t get your story tossed from the slush pile). The sentences can be found on the home page of The First Line’s website\, as well as in the prior issue. Note: We are open to all genres. We try to make TFL as eclectic as possible. \nPoetry: We do accept poetry\, though rarely. We have no restrictions on form or line count\, but all poems must begin with the first line provided. The line cannot be altered in any way. \nAll Submissions: Writers should include a two- to three-sentence biography of themselves that we can use in the journal should your story\, poem\, or essay be accepted. \nMultiple Submissions: We don’t mind if you want to submit multiple submissions for the same issue. However\, it is unlikely we will use more than one of your stories or poems in the same issue. \nSubmissions: We prefer you send manuscripts via email to submission (@) thefirstline (dot) com. We accept stories in MS Word or Word Perfect format (we prefer attachments). Please do not send pdf versions of your story or links to Google docs. Make sure your name and contact information\, as well as your bio\, are part of the attachment. Stories also can be sent to The First Line‘s post office box. No manuscripts will be returned without an accompanying SASE with sufficient return postage. \n\n\nNotification: We don’t make decisions about submissions until after each issue closes. We typically send notices four weeks after the issue’s deadline to everyone who submitted. You can also check the website’s home page for each issue’s production status. \n\n\n\n\nPayment: We pay on publication: $25.00 – $50.00 for fiction\, $5.00 – $10.00 for poetry\, and $25.00 for nonfiction (all U.S. dollars). We also send you a copy of the issue in which your piece appears. You’ll receive your money and issue at the same time. \n\n\n\n\n\nNote to our international writers: Postage cost for sending author copies overseas is a little high\, so we are reducing international author payment by the amount it would cost to send one author copy overseas. However\, if you would like to receive an electronic version of the issue (PDF) instead of a hard copy\, author payment will not change.

The submission window will remain open till 15 February 2022. \nFor this issue\, we are on the lookout for works that articulate the theme\, LAYERS.\nLayers are veils of identities. All the skins we adorn and all the thoughts we carry are all nothing but layers that blanket our existence and layers that showcase our potential. They conceal us; they become us. Layer by layer\, we all are a thousand someone or a hundred something\, shouting\, starving\, and searching for an identity. \nThe layers of our feral world are ever-increasing in the changing geopolitics\, in epidemic proportions\, and in the sense of community. We all end up housing these layers of the world in us\, which mask and unmask our real selves. \nLayers are diverse and colourful. Within a feral world do they paint our canvas with shades of identities. From these thousand combinations and hundred dichotomies\, emerges an authentic you. A you that is layered in uniqueness. \nNon-themed submissions will also be accepted for the issue. \nThe guidelines below provide basic information on submissions that may be accepted.

We want poetry and prose that sings\, fragments itself and takes flight. Give us your best\, most daring pieces\, exploring new terrains and new metaphors\, pieces that sketch out paths and avenues in an otherwise unknown wasteland. We’re looking for diversity\, versatility and for new voices of representation from all over the globe.\nPROSE: Only 1 piece at a time\, 2500 words maximum. \nPOETRY: Up to 3 poems at a time\, no length limits. \nProse and poetry should ideally be directly pasted in the body of the email.

SUMMARY:N - CBC Nonfiction Prize
DESCRIPTION:Nonfiction (up to 2\,000 words)* \n\nThe Nonfiction Prize includes memoir\, biography\, humour writing\, essay (including personal essay)\, travel writing\, and feature articles. While the events must be real and the facts true\, creative nonfiction conveys your message through the use of literary techniques such as characterization\, plot\, setting\, dialogue\, narrative and personal reflection. The work should be accessible to a general reading audience (i.e.\, not written for a specialized or academic audience).\n\nCompetition opens: January 1\, 2022 \nDeadline: February 28\, 2022 \n*(Word count includes all words contained in the work including but not limited to titles\, footnotes\, introductions\, etc. Submissions over the specified word count will be disqualified.) \nOur word limits are strict in each category. To calculate word counts\, we put your entire submission (including the title) into Microsoft Word and use Word’s word counter. Since Word only relies on spaces to delimit words\, any term containing a hyphen (“twenty-five”) or an apostrophe (“can’t”\, “don’t”) counts as a single word. Word also counts every article (“the”\, “a”\, etc.) as a separate word. Microsoft Word also automatically counts groups of characters (e.g. “xxx”) as well as symbols (e.g. “***” or “~~~”) as a word. \nParticipants may submit as many texts as they wish in one or all categories. A writer can win only one prize per category. Each text may be submitted to only one category. \nFor each manuscript entered\, participants must complete a separate official entry form and pay the entry fee. \nParticipants must verify the exact deadlines on the cbcbooks.ca website. Please note that CBC/Radio-Canada is permitted to modify these deadlines at any time. \nOnline submission: all works must be submitted and payments must be made on or before 11:59 PM (ET) on the day of the deadline. \nWinners will be announced approximately six months after the deadline for each competition. \nHOW TO SUBMIT\nAll submissions must: \n\nBe submitted online by creating an account through Submittable. Submittable is an external site designated by CBC/Radio-Canada to manage the submissions to the competition. They adhere to CBC’s privacy policy.\nBe accompanied by the official entry form and the parental permission (electronic or print version) if applicable\nBe submitted anonymously: the name of the entrant must not appear anywhere on the text to ensure the objectivity of the jury\nBe submitted in Word or Wordpad (.doc\, .rtf or .docx) format\, in letter format (8½” by 11”)\nBe double spaced\, except for poetry texts\nBe in a legible font and font size\nBe submitted to the correct category during the entry period for that category\n\nIf you are unable to submit your content online\, please contact the CBC Literary Prizes team to obtain an alternate form of entry. \nRestrictions: \n\nAll submissions are final: no changes or substitutions are allowed\nNo handwritten manuscripts or fax texts will be accepted\nTexts will not be returned and editorial comments will not be given on the works\n\nFees: \nA fee of $25.00 (taxes included) for administration purposes is required for each entry. The competition is 100% not-for-profit\, with all fees going towards covering administrative costs\, which include payment of readers and jurors of the competition. Participants are not eligible until payment of the registration fee has been received and cashed. The entry fee will not be refunded if your submission is ineligible. All submissions are final: entry fees are non-refundable and non-transferable. \nJUDGING\nWorks are judged anonymously on the basis of the participant’s use of language\, originality of subject and writing style. \nOnly the work submitted will be considered by the judges\, other documents\, images\, diagrams etc. are not eligible for consideration by the judges. \nSubmissions are processed by a two-tiered system in both languages (English\, French) by readers and jurors. \nThe initial texts are screened by readers chosen for each category from a group of qualified editors and writers across the country. Each text is read by two readers. \nThe English readers come up with a preliminary list of approximately 100 texts that are then forwarded to a second group of readers who will decide upon the approximately 30 entries that comprise the longlist and be forwarded to the jury. \nThe French readers come up with a longlist of approximately 20 texts that are forwarded to the jury. \nThe English and French juries will read all stories on the longlist and decide on a shortlist of five in each language\, which will include a first-place winner and four runners-up. The members of the jury (three per category) are composed of eminent writers and editors from the Canadian literary community. \nEvery effort is made to achieve a balance of gender and diversity in the readers and judges and to reflect regional differences and trends. The readers and jurors change every year and are based in different areas of the country. \nJurors and readers in each category will be chosen by CBC/Radio-Canada\, the Canada Council for the Arts and the Banff Centre. \nAll decisions by the readers and the jury are final (subject to meeting any conditions and eligibility criteria as determined by CBC). Readers’ names are confidential until the end of the competition to ensure the judging process remains blind. \nPRIZES\nCanada Council for the Arts will offer five cash prizes in each category and in each language: \n\nGrand Prize: $6\,000\nFour finalists will receive $1\,000 each\n\nMoreover\, the Grand Prize winner will receive a two-week residency at The Banff Centre approximately valued at $2\,500 which will include: \n\naccommodation and meals at The Banff Centre for two weeks;\n24-hour access to a studio; and\nopportunities to access Banff Centre events and performances for free.\n\nWinners must use their prize within two years of the prize award\, at a time mutually agreeable to the Banff Centre and the prize winner. This prize does not include travel costs to and from the residency at Banff. \nMoreover\, CBC/Radio-Canada will provide visibility to winners and their work on one or more of its platforms. \nParticipants may win only one prize per category. Participants maintain ownership of their works\, although rights to reproduce and distribute them to the public are limited by the licenses granted according to these rules. \nThe prize is not transferable and includes only what is specifically mentioned in these rules. If for any reason whatsoever\, the winner is unable to use the prize in whole or in part or is unwilling to accept or take advantage of the prize as described\, or a portion thereof\, the prize or portion thereof will be forfeited without compensation and CBC/Radio-Canada\, the Canada Council for the Arts\, The Banff Centre and their affiliated companies or agents\, as well as their respective directors\, officers and employees\, will be released from all obligations toward the winner with regards to the prize or portion thereof. \nIf a prize cannot be awarded as described in these rules\, CBC/Radio-Canada\, The Banff Centre and the Canada Council for the Arts reserve the right to substitute one or more prizes or prize components with another of approximately equivalent value. \nTo be proclaimed winners or finalists\, participants must meet all the conditions and eligibility criteria set out in these rules.

SUMMARY:P - Call for Submissions to FERAL.  Theme: "Time"
DESCRIPTION:Submissions\n\n\nSubmissions to FERAL: A Journal of Poetry & Art are currently OPEN! \n\nPhoto by Tim Mossholder on UnsplashCall\n\n\n\nWe’re open for submissions! The theme of our next issue is TIME. \nIsn’t it fascinating to think about the concept of time? It’s unique in the sense that all of us have the same amount of time in a day. But as you know all too well\, some people just seem to know how to make better use of it than others. At times\, it feels like you need more than 24 hours to get everything done. And during those fleeting moments when you clear your mind\, you realize that you’re in an endless race against time. \nPerhaps the best way to appreciate the value of time is to slow down. The clock will continue ticking\, but being mindful of every second allows you to identify the people\, things\, and activities that deserve most of your time. \nAnd while you’re at it\, you might want to listen to timeless hits\, many of which are actually songs about time. There are tons of songs with time in their titles\, and it’s interesting to dissect the distinctive message of each song. Some of them serve as reminders to take things easy and treasure what truly makes us happy. Others talk about how time is the only cure for the most painful wounds. Still\, some songs simply tell us to live in the moment. \nTo kick your thinking beanies into gear\, here’s a cool list of songs with TIME in the title! \n“One Moment in Time” by Whitney Houston\n“Time After Time” by Cyndi Lauper\n“Love me Two Times” by The Doors\n“Time is on my Side” by The Rolling Stones\n“Does Anybody Really Know What Time it is?” by Chicago\n“Time of my Life” by David Cook\n“Any Time at all” by The Beatles\n“Too Much Time on my Hands” by Styx\n“Old Time Rock n Roll” by Bob Seger\n“Times Like These” by Foo Fighters\n“Remember the Time” by Michael Jackson\n“One More Time” by Daft Punk\n“All This Time” by Sting\n“As Time Goes By” by Jimmy Durante\n“Haven’t Got Time for the Pain” by Carly Simon\n“Let the Good Times Roll” by BB King\n“Time” by Hootie & The Blowfish\n“Same Time” by The Script\n“Somewhere in Time” by John Barry\n“Last Time” by Reece\n“Take Your Time” by Sam Hunt\n“Wasting my Time” by Insomnia & Resident\n“A Thousand Bad Times” by Post Malone\n“So Little Time” by Arkarna \n(See the full list here…) \nAs long as your submissions consider TIME in some way\, we wanna see them! Check out our general info below for details on how to submit. \n\nGeneral Submission Guidelines: FERAL: A Journal of Poetry & Art \nWe’ve made some changes to our guidelines so please read all the information below.  \nWhat we are looking for: We want your brave\, your pain\, your love\, your teeth\, your howling beast. All styles\, forms and schools of poetry are welcome.\nPlease note that at the core of both FERAL and Animal Heart press is love. Although we wish it didn’t need to be said\, we will not accept any work that is racist\, homophobic\, sexist or discriminatory. We are committed to publishing a variety of new\, emerging and established voices. Further\, we are committed to inclusion and equity in publishing. We highly encourage submissions from underrepresented voices including\, but not limited to: women\, BIPOC\, LGBTQIA+\, and neurodivergent individuals. International submissions are welcome\, but we are only considering work in English at this time; no translations.\nFERAL nominates for the Best of the Net and the Pushcart Prize. \nSubmissions should be sent to: feralpoetryandart[AT]gmail[DOT]com\nIn the subject line of your email please type: LAST NAME – TYPE OF SUBMISSION (for example: GORDON – POETRY).\nCover Letters: We’ve heard you loud and clear about how daunting many of you find writing cover letters\, so they are no longer required.\nIf you want to include a cover letter we’d like to know a little about you (this is not your bio but rather an introduction to you as a human/poet/artist). At a minimum\, in the body of your email\, please provide your name and preferred pronouns. \nPOETRY:\nFor poetry submissions\, please submit 1-4 poems and attach your submission in a single document (doc. docx. pdf.) Please do not put your name or any identifying information on the submission. We will consider all forms of poetry including erasure poetry and visual poetry – surprise us!

SUMMARY:PFN - 2022 SWHNM Mentorship Program: Call for Applications
DESCRIPTION:DVAN NEWS\n\n\n\n2022 SWHNM Mentorship Program: Call for Applications\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJan 16\, 2022\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nShe Who Has No Master(s)\, image from “Yellow Echoes” project in progress\, 2021\nShe Who Has No Master(s) is initiating a creative writing mentorship program led by and designed for Vietnamese and SE Asian diasporic women and nonbinary writers. The centering of this perspective is important because in most educational settings the focus on subject matter and perspectives of women/nonbinary SE Asian diasporic women is marginal\, if not totally unaddressed. In creating educational spaces that center those viewpoints\, we create a nourishing space in which aspiring writers can see themselves\, explore\, and embrace their own particularities\, and create more expansively. These mentorships will address both creative and professional aspects involved in the writing life. These offerings fulfill a dire contemporary need in our nation’s current environment for creative writing education. \nMentorship courses will be formatted in a “low-residency” style\, of monthly mentorship “packet” exchanges (via email and online i.e. video chat correspondences) between mentors and mentees/writing students\, from May to August 2022. For our inaugural year\, in order to work within limitations and uncertainties presented by public health concerns\, this will be a remote-only mentorship course. Applicants may be located anywhere in the world (but must be willing to schedule with a mentor based in US and Canada time zones). \nMentorship is designed so that each student receives intensive one-on-one guidance from their mentor. Mentees and mentors will also convene online in several group sessions\, where mentees will get to interact\, share creative work\, and discuss aspects of craft with their peers and the other mentors. Mentees should be passionate and committed to exploring creative writing\, ready to generate new creative work\, engage in revision processes\, and capable of working both independently as well as from writing prompts given by mentors. Mentors will work with mentees to tailor creative writing guidance that meets the mentees’ specific interests and needs. \nThe mentors for our inaugural 2022 mentorship program will be: Diana Khoi Nguyen\, Hoa Nguyen\, Lily Hoang\, and Vi Khi Nao. \nIf you are selected for a mentorship\, you will receive 4 months of tuition-free mentorship\, an extremely unique opportunity for mentees to work closely with distinguished\, award-winning women writers of the Vietnamese diaspora. Our first cohort will engage 4 students and 4 mentors. \nApplication Guidelines\n\n\nTo apply\, please register here and pay the $25 application fee before February 28\, 2022. \nThen\, send the following applications materials to she.who.has.no.masters@gmail.com: \n\nStatement of purpose / interest in this program [up to 500 words]:\n\nHow will this program benefit your writing life? What do you hope to receive from this course?\nWhat type of work have you made / wish to make / are interested in exploring?\nTell us what it means for you to be a diasporic writer or artist.\n\n\nCreative resume / CV (indicating MFA and/or publishing history\, if applicable)\nWork Sample:\n\n10-20 pages of content total\, in one or a mixture of genres (example: you may submit 10 pages of textual material + 10 min. of video or audio; or 15 pages of poetry + a 5-min. video; etc.)\nOpen to any genre: poetry\, prose (fiction\, creative nonfiction)\, hybrid\, multimedia\, etc.\nIf supplying video or audio material\, up to 10 minutes total\nIf supplying text and/or image\, must be formatted to the page (PDF file preferred)\, 10-20 pages total\nEach file should indicate your full name and the file subject. For example: “JaneNguyen_Statement” “JaneNguyen_Resume” “JaneNguyen_WorkSample”\n\n\n\nNote: To send us video\, audio or other media files\, please provide a work sample item sheet that includes links (i.e. Vimeo\, YouTube) to where the material can be seen/heard. Using timecode\, indicate exactly which portion of the media you would like us to review\, if the existing link contains more than the allotted 10 minutes of material. Or\, by default\, we will review the first 5-10 min. of material. \nIf you have questions or issues regarding how to send us your application materials\, or if you are in need of an application fee waiver\, please DM us at: she.who.has.no.masters@gmail.com

SUMMARY:PFN - Call for Submissions to THEMA.  Theme: "To The Pond"
DESCRIPTION:ALL SHORT STORIES AND POEMS MUST RELATE TO THE PREMISE “TO THE POND” \nThe premise (target theme) must be an integral part of the plot\, not necessarily the central theme but not merely incidental. Fewer than 20 double-spaced typewritten pages preferred. Indicate premise (target theme) on title page. Be sure to Indicate target theme in cover letter or on first page of manuscript. Include self-addressed\, stamped envelope (SASE) with each submission. Rejected manuscripts unaccompanied by an SASE will not be returned. Response time: 3 months after premise deadline. Note: No handwritten manuscripts will be considered. \nNO READER’S FEE. \nNOTE: Previously published pieces are welcome\, provided that the submission fits the theme and that the author owns the copyright. \nMail to: THEMA\, Box 8747\, Metairie\, LA 70011-8747. \nOutside the US: email thema@cox.net \nOn acceptance for publication\, we will pay the following amount: short story\, $25; short-short piece (up to 1000 words)\, $10; poem. \nCopyright reverts to author after publication. \nUnlike many publishers\, we prefer works submitted by the authors themselves\, without the involvement of an agent. \nNo handwritten manuscripts will be considered. \nNOTE: We do not accept e-mailed submissions EXCEPT from authors who live outside the U.S. \nFor those living outside the U.S.\, submit manuscript as an email attachment (readable by MSWord ― either as a DOC file or an RTF file)\, and include the following information on the title page: target theme\, title of work\, name of author\, email address and physical address. \n\n\n\n\nShort Stories: All types welcome―both traditional and experimental \nSend to: Virginia Howard\, editor\, Box 8747\, Metairie\, LA 70011-8747 \nOutside the US: email to Virginia Howard at thema@cox.net \n\n\n\n\n\nWhat we like: a carefully constructed plot; good character delineation; clever plot twists \nWhat we don’t like: bedroom/bathroom profanity.  Why? \n\nIt’s boring! Writers should be more creative than to depend on the same tired and dubious language crutches to express surprise\, disdain\, shock\, bemusement\, anger\, sadness\, and other emotions.\nSuch profanity\, used in excess\, often serves as a camouflage for a weak plot. If the plot is good\, the story can be told much more effectively in nonscatologic language even though a character in the story may be sleazy.\nStories of lasting quality rarely need it.\n\nPoetry: All types of poetic form welcome. Submit no more than three poems per theme\, please. If more than three poems are submitted\, we will read only the first three poems in the stack. \nSend to: Gail Howard\, poetry editor\, Box 8747\, Metairie\, LA 70011-8747 \nOutside the US: email to Gail Howard at thema@cox.net \nWhat we like: poems that are thoughtfully constructed and carefully distilled. \nWhat we don’t like: sexually explicit wording. Subtlety is more creative.

SUMMARY:P - Submissions for the 2022 Airlie Prize are now open!
DESCRIPTION:Submissions for the 2022 the Airlie Prize will be open January 1st through March 15th\, 2022 to all poets writing in English\, regardless of place of residence. The winner will be notified in the fall following the submission and will receive a $1000 cash award upon publication of the book in September of the next year. The initial print run is 500 copies. \nAt Airlie Press\, our vision and mission are to publish books of poetry that are compelling\, innovative\, and representative of diverse voices. To that end\, submissions to the Airlie Prize will no longer be read anonymously. As a press\, we commit to participating in the ongoing conversation and practice regarding inclusion and equity. We encourage submissions from underrepresented voices and poets from marginalized communities. \nIn the interest of transparency\, we’d like to share our selection process. All manuscripts will be read by two Airlie Press editors (either past or present) and previous Airlie Prize winners. Each reader will choose 2-3 manuscripts to advance to the second round. Our main criteria in reviewing manuscripts is the quality of the work. All current editors will then read the manuscripts that have advanced to the second round\, and each will choose their top two selections. From that group of finalists\, the prize winner is chosen by consensus among all current editors. If you have submitted to the Airlie Prize before\, we encourage you to try again\, as the judging team of Airlie Press editors varies from year to year. \nPoets previously published or contracted to be published by Airlie Press are ineligible to enter this contest\, as are members of the Airlie advisory board. In the case that an entry to the contest is made by a close connection (friend\, relative\, student\, or former student) of one of the Airlie Prize readers\, that reader will recuse themselves from the review of that manuscript in the first round. Manuscripts that advance to the final round will be read by all current editors\, regardless of connection\, and a winner will be chosen by consensus. For the purposes of this contest\, we also define “close connection” as anyone with whom a reader has direct correspondence (either written or verbal) once a month or more. As poetry is a relatively small community\, we believe a passing acquaintance with one of the readers does not necessitate a recusal. \nSubmissions are accepted via Submittable during the submission period. Entry fee: $25 ($33 if you would like to receive a copy of the winning book; $38 for those residing outside the US wishing to receive the book). \nManuscript Guidelines: \n1.      Manuscripts should be 48 to 90 pages of original poetry in English (excluding front matter and end matter). No more than one poem should appear on a page. \n2.      Please be sure manuscript pages are numbered. \n3.      Please include a table of contents. \n4.      Please use a standard\, easy-to-read font such as Times New Roman in twelve-point size. \n5.      Poems included in the submission may have appeared previously in magazines or anthologies but may not have been previously published in a book-length collection of the author’s own work. \n6.      Authors may submit more than one manuscript as long as no material is duplicated between submissions. Each submission requires a separate entry fee. \n7.      This contest is limited to single-author submissions. Translations are not eligible. \n8.      We accept simultaneous submissions\, but ask that you notify us and withdraw your manuscript from Submittable if it is accepted by another publisher. Entry fees are nonrefundable. \n9.    The contest winner will participate in the judging for the Airlie Prize in the year following their book’s publication.

SUMMARY:P - Prairie Schooner Raz-Shumaker Book Prize Contest
DESCRIPTION:The 2021 Prairie Schooner Raz-Shumaker Book Prize Contest opens to submissions on January 15\, 2022\, and will remain open until March 15\, 2022. \nPrizes \nWinners will receive $3000 and publication through the University of Nebraska Press. \nEligibility \nThe Prairie Schooner Raz-Shumaker Book Prize Series welcomes manuscripts from all living writers\, including non-US citizens\, writing in English. Both unpublished and published writers are welcome to submit manuscripts. We will not consider manuscripts that have previously been published\, which includes self-publication.  Manuscripts may contain stories or poems that have been published in journals or in chapbook form; however\, if the full-length manuscript includes work from a previously published chapbook\, the majority of the manuscript must be additional work not appearing in the chapbook.  Writers may enter both contests. Simultaneous submissions are accepted\, but we ask that you notify us immediately if your manuscript is accepted for publication somewhere else. No past or present paid employee of Prairie Schooner or the University of Nebraska Press or current faculty or student at the University of Nebraska will be eligible for the prizes. \nFees \nA $25.00 reading fee must accompany each submission. Submittable supports multiple currency options. Multiple submissions are welcome\, with separate fees. \nFor more guidelines\, please select your genre category below. \nYou may also visit our website here: http://prairieschooner.unl.edu/book-prize for more info. \nFor additional questions not answered within the guidelines\, e-mail Jamaica Baldwin\, Book Prize Coordinator\, at psbookprize@unl.edu. Please note we may not be able to respond to questions already addressed within the guidelines. \nContest Code of Ethics \nPrairie Schooner\, as a member of the Council of Literary Magazines and Presses\, subscribes to this code of ethics for our annual book series competition: CLMP’s community of independent literary publishers believes that ethical contests serve our shared goal: to connect writers and readers by publishing exceptional writing. We believe that intent to act ethically\, clarity of guidelines\, and transparency of process form the foundation of an ethical contest. To that end\, we agree 1) to conduct our contests as ethically as possible and to address any unethical behavior on the part of our readers\, judges\, or editors; 2) to provide clear and specific contest guidelines—defining conflict of interest for all parties involved; and 3) to make the mechanics of our selection process available to the public. This code recognizes that different contest models produce different results\, but that each model can be run ethically. We have adopted this code to reinforce our integrity and dedication as a publishing community and to ensure that our contests contribute to a vibrant literary heritage.
