Prairie Schooner Literary Magazine

Long-time IWW member and essayist Karna Converse sent me a note saying ...

I just read in a University of Nebraska publication (I'm an alum) that Prairie Schooner will become a paying market. I can't find the article online but here's the gist of it:

Prairie Schooner received a $300,000 gift from a man in California who was a longime subscriber. Hilda Raz, Prairie Schooner's editor sai the gift fulfills the magazines' longime desire to pay its contributors.

I don't see that the online writer's guidelines have been edited to reflect this, but the announcement appeared in the Winter 2008 issue of One Nebraska.

• Here are Prairie Schooner's Writer's Guidelines.
• Here is Prairie Schooner's Blog.
