The Roadrunner Annual Prize / How To Submit ($100 + Publication)

The Roadrunner review invite students, graduate and undergraduate, to submit to their works of fiction for the annual prize.

 

The Roadrunner Review is an online literary journal produced by students at La Sierra University, a Seventh-day Adventist institution. They want to create a beautiful literary space for students, and they welcome submissions from around the world.

They are interested in work that plunges one into a moment and unravels larger truths. They like to be surprised with language, and they find that wonder can come when ordinary moments are carefully observed. Because the world is a busy place, they aim to give readers short, vivid reading experiences. 

They are reading for ISSUE 7, and will consider all accepted work for their annual Roadrunner Prize (s) in Poetry, Fiction, and Nonfiction.

Each award comes with a $100 award.
This year, they are excited to add Cover Art to the prize categories.

Deadline: January 31, 2021

They are also reading for their High School Writing competition. The winner will receive $100 and be published in ISSUE 8. The deadline for high school students is May 16, 2021.
