Red Rock Review

Thank you for your interest in submitting to the Red Rock Review.

We seek strong voices with unique views, ambitious narratives, and thoughtfully crafted work that uses language in new and interesting ways. We look forward to reading your best work! 

Generally, we like submissions up to 5,000 words. However, if your story is truly exceptional but lands somewhere above 5,000, we'll still be excited to read it. Please send no more than one story or essay at a time - once you receive a response from us, you can submit again during the same reading period.

Formatting Guidelines:

• File must be a .doc or .docx
• Standard one-inch margins on all pages
• Indent new paragraphs ½"
• Approximate word count appears in the top right corner of page one
• Text is double-spaced. Do not add extra blank lines between paragraphs unless creating section breaks, which should be marked with a pound sign.
• We prefer to read all our submissions blind: Include your name, contact information, and a brief author bio in Submittable’s cover letter field and remove any identifying information from the manuscript itself.

We accept simultaneous submissions with the stipulation that you withdraw upon acceptance elsewhere.

If you have previously published work with us, we ask that you please wait one year  before sending us new work.

Thank you for your interest in submitting to the Red Rock Review.

We seek strong voices with unique views, ambitious narratives, and thoughtfully crafted work that uses language in new and interesting ways. We are open to reading both traditional and experimental forms, as well as translations.

Generally, we like submissions of no more than 80 lines. However, if your poem is truly exceptional but lands somewhere above 80 lines, we'll still be excited to read it. Please send no more than five poems/ ten pages of poetry at a time - once you receive a response from us, you can submit again during the same reading period.

Formatting Guidelines:

• List the title(s) of your poem(s) as the name of your submission
• Upload files as .doc or .docx
• Left and right margins are set at the discretion of the poet; top margin (and bottom if necessary) should be 1" (keep in mind, however, when setting your line breaks, that the journal prints on a 6"x 9" page)
• Lines of text may be single- or double-spaced
• We prefer to read all our submissions blind: Include your name/ contact info and a brief author bio in in Submittable's cover letter field and remove any identifying information from the manuscript itself
• For translations: We accept translations into English from any language; we are especially interested in translations from Spanish. You must have permission from the poem's copyright holder in order to translate/ publish it. We prefer to publish both the translation and the original work together when possible

We accept simultaneous submissions with the stipulation that you withdraw upon acceptance elsewhere. For groups of poems, please send us a message indicating which poem is being withdrawn (do not withdraw the entire submission unless you intend to withdraw all poems from consideration). 

If you have previously published work with us, we ask that you please wait one year  before sending us new work.
