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
