CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS AND ART   

DEADLINE: May 15th, 2022  

 The University of Saskatchewan's online literary journal, The Fieldstone Review, is now accepting submissions of creative nonfiction/literature & book reviews, fiction, poetry, and reviews for its 2022 issue. The Fieldstone Review welcomes original, previously unpublished work of quality in various styles and genres.

The theme of this year’s edition is SUGAR. Pour some sugar on the Fieldstone because, for the upcoming issue, we want only your sweetest writing! We want your sugar and spice and everything not so nice. Send us your sugar highs, your sugar crashes, your spoonfuls and cubes. But don’t sugarcoat. Or do. Satisfy our sweet tooth! Though we welcome all submissions, preference will be given to those works that engage with this theme. We are proud to announce that this year we are able to offer a literary prize of $100 CAD for the best submission as chosen by our editorial team!

Finally, we are also calling for artist’s submissions for this edition’s banner. Please submit your work as a .jpg with the subject line “Banner Competition."
