Calling all writers! 

Rubbertop Review is an annual literary journal looking for excellent craftsmanship in fiction, poetry, creative nonfiction, and greyscale art. We solely consider the quality of writing and the passion for the craft.

Submissions are generally accepted during the fall semesters. Stay tuned for official submission dates.

When submitting, please keep to the following guidelines: 

  • All authors are able to submit one entry per genre with the exception of poetry and art.
  • Submit up to 5 poems for consideration.
  • We are partial to accepting works of flash fiction and creative nonfiction, i.e. works up to 2,000 words or less, but we also are open to stories up to 5,000 words.
  • Please submit up to 5 pieces of art in print-quality format. Please no color. 

All questions and concerns may be addressed to the Editor-In-Chief: editor.rubbertop@gmail.com

We look forward to reading your work.
