We encourage you to submit your best work to us. The site is nothing without outside voices. We get pretty tired of hearing our own anyway.

We review any and all submissions, as daunting of a task as it sounds. Word counts may vary, but incredibly lengthy submissions are not generally in line with the magazine. You must remember our audience is college students, and God knows our attention spans are brief. Submissions from classes are definitely welcome (because they're heavily edited, so that's less work for us).

We welcome essays and creative nonfiction, short stories, poetry, and visual art pieces. We also accept news/feature stories, photography, and video segments.

We have the right to refuse any submission. We also reserve the right to edit it before publication.

E-mail creative works to risefiction@gmail.com (even if it's not fiction). E-mail everything else to risemag@gmail.com.
