We are accepting submissions starting October 2nd for our inaugural issue (planned release in Feb. 2026).
River’s Edge is a literary magazine dedicated to discovering and showcasing original voices that explore the boundaries between the known and unknown.
Like the edge of a river—where land meets water, and stillness meets motion—we embrace writing that dwells in transition, evokes reflection, and stirs transformation.
We publish fiction, poetry, nonfiction, and hybrid works that challenge convention or use established forms with modern reinterpretation. We look for works that celebrate diversity and invite readers to linger in the in-between.
We believe in amplifying voices historically silenced—those navigating the complexities of identity, culture, gender, race, and belonging.
Whether you're a first-time writer or a seasoned one, River’s Edge is your shoreline.
We especially welcome
-
Writers of color and Indigenous storytellers
-
Immigrants, diasporic writers, those living between languages
-
Women, nonbinary, LGBTQ+ writers and creatives
-
Men committed to allyship and equity in the arts​
​
We are here to bolster new and emerging writers, to publish the work that doesn’t fit the mold, and to build a community that listens deeply.
For all who have ever stood at the edges, waiting—this is your invitation to step into the current.
