The Heartland Review Press publishes 2 journals titled The Heartland Review per year and usually 1 poetry chapbook.  

The Heartland Review literary journal is published in the late spring (around Mother's Day) and late fall (between Thanksgiving and Christmas). 

We have free open calls in fiction & creative nonfiction twice a year. The guidelines can be found here: https://elizabethtown.kctcs.edu/community/theheartlandreviewpress/index.aspx

Each fall we have the Joy Bale Boone Poetry Prize, which has an entry fee. Winners of this are published in the spring edition of our journal. For more information and guidelines, click here   https://elizabethtown.kctcs.edu/community/theheartlandreviewpress/poetry-prize.aspx 

Additionally we have a yearly poetry Chapbook contest.  There is a submission fee for this. The dates on this often vary. Please review our guidelines and dates here: ttps://elizabethtown.kctcs.edu/community/theheartlandreviewpress/chapbooks.aspx
