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:

• Name and contact information must not appear on the manuscript
• 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. Please 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.
