Calling All Ohio Writers!
A new page has been turned at The University of Akron. Akros Review has been retired after a long and respected run and is being replaced with a brand new literary magazine, Rubbertop Review: An Annual Journal of The University of Akron and Greater Ohio. Rubbertop blends tradition with innovation and is looking for excellent craftsmanship in fiction, poetry, and creative nonfiction.
Each issue of Rubbertop will feature 1/4 of its content from undergraduate and graduate students at The University of Akron. The remainder of the journal will feature the very best of work by writers living in Ohio.
We will consider submissions from any Ohio resident. No university affiliation is required; we solely consider the quality of writing and the passion for the craft. Rubbertop staff and their families are excluded from submitting work. Likewise, employees of The University of Akron are excluded from submitting, with the exception of graduate assistants enrolled in the MA or NEOMFA programs.
Submissions are accepted October 13 – February 1
When submitting please keep to the following guidelines:
– 3-5 poems only
– Short fiction or creative nonfiction should not exceed 4,000 words
– No attachments, please. Paste your submission directly into the text of your e-mail. If your work is accepted we will ask for an electronic file.
– Include a brief description of you and your work before your submitted piece
– Electronic submissions only. Please e-mail the appropriate editor and in the subject line put your name and genre (i.e., Fiction – Jane Smith). Akron students should make their affiliation clear in the subject line (i.e., UA Poetry – John Smith).
As we are a small, newly renovated journal, please respect our ability to only give payment of one (1) contributor’s copy for accepted pieces. All authors included in each issue will be invited to read their work at our annual release party in the spring.
We look forward to reading your work.
