How Is riverrun Made?
This journal is made possible through the UCCS Student Media Advisory Board and funded by the Student Media Fee. The journal is designed and published by the editorial class, ENGL 3170, each year. In making selections for each volume of riverrun, selection committees, comprised of student editors, work vigilantly to select the most exemplary pieces from the vast number of submissions in each genre that we receive each year.
How to Get Involved
We encourage you to SUBMIT your original work for publication for the next issue of riverrun by February, 2026. We publish works of:
- Visual Art
- Poetry
- Fiction
- Creative Nonfiction
- Literary Translation
- Short Performance
REGISTER for the riverrun Literary and Arts Journal course (ENGL 3170) in the spring semester to participate in the selection of submissions and the design, editing, and publication of the journal. English majors and non-English majors are encouraged to enroll; all are welcome in the class!
