Editorial Focus
Works of fiction, creative nonfiction, and poetry. We publish the winners of the Iowa Short Fiction Award and the Iowa Poetry Prize; the craft of writing; fiction; literary and general nonfiction; midwestern history and culture; and collections of historic and contemporary photographs.
Tips From the Editor
We prefer all proposals and manuscript materials to be double-spaced and in Word or PDF format. Please email your material to the appropriate acquisitions or series editor. Our typical response time for a preliminary inquiry is about five to six weeks.
Please note that the Iowa Poetry Prize, the Iowa Short Fiction Award, and the John Simmons Short Fiction Award have their own submission procedures.
