Flint Hills Review is an annual publication with a national circulation. We publish work with a particular interest in region, including regions of place, regions of ethnicity, regions of gender, and regions of memory. We welcome poetry, short fiction, nonfiction of literary quality, and art which can be successfully reproduced into black and white photography. FHR receives support from the Creative Writing Program at Emporia State University, located in the rolling green Flint Hills grasslands of Kansas.
