Publisher’s description: River Teeth is a biannual creative nonfiction journal co-edited by Joe Mackall and Dan Lehman with the assistance of students in the low-residency MFA program at Ashland University.
Founded in 1999, River Teeth combines the best of creative nonfiction, including narrative reportage, essays, and memoirs, as well as critical essays that examine the genre and that explore the impact of nonfiction narrative on the lives of its writers, subjects, and readers.
River Teeth is looking for good writing. That’s all. We publish the best-of-the-best, which includes names you’d recognize in a second as well as writers who are making their first appearance in print. If it’s good writing, it’s good for us. Please don’t send us poetry or fiction - there are plenty of good journals publishing these genres, so why waste your time sending to a place that doesn’t?
River Teeth is published by Ashland University. The annual River Teeth Book Prize competition is published by University of Nebraska Press; the winner receives $1,000. Submission fee is $25. Deadline for submissions is December 31 each year. Visit the website www.ashland.edu/riverteeth for complete contest guidelines.
