riverSedge is a literary journal of culture and literature with an understanding of its place in the nation. Its name reflects our specific river edge with an openness to publish writers who use English, Tex-Mex, and Spanish and who discuss border life while not excluding voices from other areas. The “river’s edge” means many things: the edge of the Americas, divided by the Rio Grande, as well as the cutting edge of creativity in language and genre. riverSedge exists to provide an outlet for writers of excellence in the genres of creative nonfiction, poetry, fiction, scriptwriting, visual art, and critical reviews.
For our upcoming issue, all submissions (except book reviews) will be eligible for contest prizes in three categories: poetry, prose, and art. Here are the full guidelines:
