How are writers remunerated by Shenandoah?
We pay $2.50 per line of poetry ($200 maximum) published and $25 per page of prose ($250 maximum). Cover artists are also paid. The contributor also receives a free copy of the issue, the opportunity to purchase additional copies at a modest rate and a free one-year subscription. All poems published in our pages in a given year are eligible for consideration for the annual James Boatwright III Prize for Poetry ($1000) and stories are eligible for the annual $1,000 Goodheart Prize for Fiction. The Thomas H. Carter Prize for the Essay ($1,000) is awarded for the best non-fiction worked published in a calendar year. There is no “submission” process per se.
