How to Submit to River’s Voice

River’s Voice is a journal of art and literature published at Rio Hondo College as a joint effort of the Communications and Languages Division, Arts and Cultural Programs Division, ASO, and ASB. Students, faculty, staff, and alumni of Rio Hondo College are encouraged to submit original work for possible publication in five genres: poetry, short story, memoir, one-act drama, and visual art. All submissions undergo a process of "blind" judging by a team of 20-30 faculty and student judges. Student submissions are also reviewed for the River’s Voice Creative Writing Contest, which awards three cash prizes to students in each literary genre. The submission deadline for River’s Voice is February 14.

Submissions must follow announced guidelines. Submissions of literature are accepted in electronic format only. Submissions of visual art are accepted in digital format only. Send inquiries to RiversVoice@riohondo.edu

Contributors whose work is selected for publication will receive a complimentary copy of River’s Voice.

Copies are available for purchase in the Communications Office, Room A-219.
