"We seek to encourage excellence, experimentation and education within haiku and its related genres. We believe this is best accomplished by example and not imitation. Our aim is for authenticity above all else. We therefore solicit your finest examples of haiku, tanka, haiga, haibun and renga/renku so that we may "hear" your voices speak."
RiverLit publishes quarterly in January, April, July, and October and submission periods are held the month prior to an issue's release.
We are looking for fiction, poetry, essays, comics, and art.
