For our 17th issue, we at Rubbertop Review are seeking pieces that resonate and symbolize a blend of independence, wisdom, and spiritual victory. We want work that examines self-reflection, relationships, and their boundaries. Work that shows the journey of overcoming fear and processing emotions. Work that represents the growth of struggle and the product of something new.  We accept short fiction and nonfiction, poetry, and greyscale visual art representative of these themes.

General Submission Guidelines:

• We accept only first rights to publication
• We do accept simultaneous submission, please withdraw pieces that have been accepted elsewhere
• Please note if you have any connections to Ohio or Akron
