About the magazine

New Plains Review is a literary journal housed at the University of Central Oklahoma, founded in 1986 to showcase the diverse voices of the Great Plains and beyond. With a commitment to regional and national literature, the journal publishes poetry, fiction, and creative nonfiction that reflect a keen sense of place, character, and narrative craft. Its annual contests, including the New Plains Review Prize in Poetry, offer writers a platform for recognition and publication.

Submitting your work

Reading periodCloses in 8 days

Writers should submit work that demonstrates a strong sense of voice and place, with careful attention to language and narrative. The journal appreciates both traditional and experimental forms, but always prioritizes clarity and emotional resonance. Before submitting, review recent issues to understand the aesthetic range. For contests, follow guidelines precisely and submit early; simultaneous submissions are generally accepted, but notify promptly if work is taken elsewhere.
