Red Rook Press is a growing publishing press dedicated to celebrating the work of undergraduate writers. As we expand, we're continuing to explore new mediums to promote fresh and exciting works, and we're happy to announce that we're now accepting digital content for publication on our website! Whether there's a piece of media you can't stop talking about, a viewpoint you feel like sharing, or a written piece you're ready to show the world, we're burning the midnight oil to see what you've been working on! 

Our digital content consists of three sections, each of which you can submit to through the google form linked here: 

Reviews: If you're like us, sometimes there's a story you just can't stop thinking about! Whether it's about a book, movie, tv show, video game, or piece of music, we want to your thoughts. Reviews should be between 350 and 1000 words. 

Rhetoric: Our rhetoric section contains more formal essays on a wide range of topics, including literary analyses. Essays should be no more than 3000 words. 

Writes: This section includes fiction, non-fiction, and poetry pieces. As with our publication submissions, we happily accept pieces from a wide variety of genres and styles. For prose, we request submissions be between 250 and 2500 words, and for poetry no more than 2 pages. 

Simultaneous Submissions: Perfectly fine - just make sure you let us know if your work is selected elsewhere. 

Payment: Our digital submissions are unpaid. 

The Intro Journals Project is a literary competition for the discovery and publication of the best new works by students currently enrolled in AWP member programs. The program will nominate—chosen by the faculty—one work of fiction, one essay, and three poems, which will then go on to the national competition to vie for publication in participating literary journals. Winning entries will be awarded publication in a literary journal and $100.
