Call for Submissions

The New Plains Review, the recent literary home of such authors as Stephen Dunn, Billy Collins, Galway Kinnell, and Julianna Baggott, seeks quality fiction, poetry, and creative nonfiction for its Fall 2009 issue. All submissions are automatically eligible for the $1,000.00 editors' prize.

We are interested in poetry, fiction, and creative nonfiction that is thoughtful and compelling, but otherwise we do not have any specific guidelines for style or subject matter. We no longer arrange issues with thematic topics. On occasion, we do publish issues with special sections; always look at our Special Section announcements on our website before submitting.

We do accept simultaneous submissions. We do not accept previously published work. Your submission gives us permission to publish your work online. At this time, we do not pay upon publication. Each submission is, however, automatically eligible for the editors’ prize.

Submit your poetry, fiction, or creative nonfiction by August 15th, 2009 to shayNewPlains@gmail.com. Allow 4-6 weeks for response.  Attach submissions in either Word (.doc or .docx) or Rich Text Format (.rtf).  Please include type of submission (poetry, fiction, creative nonfiction) in the subject line.

Back issues of New Plains Review are $10, when available. E-mail newplainsreview@yahoo.com or call our office at 405-974-5613 to place an order.
