The Spring 2027 issue will mark the 100th anniversary of the first issue of Prairie Schooner, so we are seeking poems, short stories, and essays on the theme of Awakening. Awakening, awareness, revival, rebirth. Our centenary coincides with overwhelming challenges to our freedoms, our cultures, our progress, our expression, and the next 100 years will be informed by the wisdom and invention of writers and thinkers, by strong voices, creative vision. We seek inspiring work that will carry us forward or reflect on the past, work that will pose questions or suggest answers. We want work that will invigorate with new understanding or break our hearts with it—all with insight and perspective, whether lyric or bold, quiet or insistent.
Submission window: February 1 – February 15 (or until submission caps are reached)
No submission fee. Please limit to one submission per genre. If the category is no longer available after February 1, we have met our submission cap and are closed to that genre. (Submit early!)
Submissions will be accepted via Submittable starting February 1; more guidelines can be found there and on our website.
