Prairie Schooner Book Prize in Fiction

Throughout its 75 years of continuous publication Prairie Schooner has consistently maintained a national reputation for literary excellence.  Building upon this venerable history, the journal selects one short story collection from contemporary writers each year for the Prairie Schooner Fiction prize series. The series is sponsored and vetted by the staff of Prairie Schooner and a venerable committee of judges, and the selected volumes are published each year by UNP. Submission guidelines for the prize series can be found on the Prairie Schooner website:
