To Submit a Manuscript for Consideration

In order to give everyone a chance, we ask that you submit no more than three stories, poems, etc. within a six month period. Because of the volume received, your submission may not appear for many months. Because this is a grassroots publication, we try to eventually use something from everyone as long as the subject matter pertains to the history, art and culture of the prairies of South Central Kansas and northern Oklahoma, and is reasonably coherent.

Because of the overwhelming task of editing each month without adequate volunteer help, we can no longer return ANYTHING submitted, even photographs. Please do not send your only copy. We encourage submissions by e-mail: wepreserve@balmerfund.org. If not available, snail mail to:

Editor, Prairie Connection, 121 W.
Main, Harper, KS 67058. Thank you for understanding.

Because funds go for a charitable cause, there is a no refund policy, i.e. in the event of a cancellation due to death or disgust, or slight overpayment. We will, however, upon request, gift a remaining subscription to someone you designate. Ten issues a year; January-February and July-August are combination issues.
