Editorial Focus
Raven Chronicles announces our 2026 Keepers of the Fire contest for fiction and nonfiction manuscripts. The Keepers of the Fire Prize honors daring and forward-thinking literary arts across cultures. Chosen authors will receive an advance of $1,000, September 2027 publication of their book, and 50% of net revenues on sales. 2026 Theme: We want original fiction or nonfiction that includes or addresses this general theme: deportation, deported, deportee, immigrant, without a country or legal status, to be a stateless person, to have no nationality.
Tips From the Editor
Check our website, www.ravenchronicles.org/submissions, for upcoming guidelines. We only charge reading fees for a once-a-year contest. The contest is themed, which changes every year.
