Prairie Fire accepts ONE submission per category (Poetry, Fiction, Creative Non-Fiction) every twelve months. Once you have submitted, please wait twelve months before submitting again.
Please, no revisions, replacements or substitutions once submitted.
Prairie Fire receives hundreds of submissions every year in each genre. Because of the high volume of submissions, our editors are not able to comment on work being returned. The editors meet several times per year. Generally, the response time takes 3-6 months. If you have waited longer than this for a reply, please feel free to query us.
If your work is accepted, you will be notified via email. Payment is made upon publication. Please see our contributor rates for details. We buy First North American Serial Rights and First Digital Publication Rights only (If you have published your work previously with a digital publication, this work is considered published. Please do not submit previously published work). After publication, copyright reverts to the author.
In order to find out what our editors are looking for, it’s a good idea to read back issues of Prairie Fire before submitting your work. Prairie Fire publishes literary, not commercial, writing. Check recent issues and our website for information about special submission procedures, calls for submissions, contests, or to subscribe.
Prairie Fire encourages person/persons of colour, LGBTQ+ & disabled writers, as well as writers from any other (or more than one) underrepresented community to submit.
We do not publish work that is sexist, racist, homophobic, transphobic, ableist, or promotes hate speech or intolerance.
We do not publish AI generated work.
