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 5 to 6 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.
