River Teeth -- Submissions

Submissions

River Teeth invites submissions of creative nonfiction, including narrative reportage, essays, and memoirs, as well as critical essays that examine the emerging genre and that explore the impact of nonfiction narrative on the lives of its writers, subjects, and readers.

River Teeth uses an online submission manager to read and track your submissions. In order to use the Submission Manager, you will need to set up an account. Your contact information will only be used to communicate news and events about River Teeth and respond to your submissions.

Log in to the Submission Manager to submit your essay.

River Teeth will consider simultaneous submissions as long as writers follow the normal etiquette of such submissions by indicating so in a cover letter or the notes section of the submission, and notifying us immediately if the piece is picked up by another journal.

River Teeth does not consider previously published pieces, either in print or online.

Reprint rights or subsidiary rights request must be directed to the University of Nebraska Press.

Published writers will receive two complimentary issues of the journal and the option to purchase more at a discounted rate from the University of Nebraska Press.

Writers are strongly urged to use the Submission Manager to submit essays. Mailed submissions will take lower priority and will take many months longer to receive a response, but if this is the only means available, submissions should be sent to:

RIVER TEETH

Ashland University

401 College Avenue

Ashland, OH 44805

The editors of River Teeth try to respond to submissions within three to six months, though we always work hard to return submissions as quickly as possible while giving each submission a fair read. Responses may take longer over the summer months.
