Hello reader, welcome back. We took a bit of a break after launching RABBLE REVIEW No.9. But we’re back and we’re hitting the ground running. Guess what? Submissions for our 10th issue are open as of Monday, October 27th. Guess what else? We’re having our livestream event on November 9th. Guess what else??? We added a new editor to our team. Also we checked our Facebook account for the first time in like…three years or something. Anyways!

The submission form is available once again, we are excited to start reading your submissions. The deadline is on November 23rd, so you have a little less than a month to get your work in, so don’t wait until the last minute. We were willing to extend the deadline to a few potential contributors for Issue No.9 but that really disrupted our work flow because things were out of place, so just get it in by the 23rd.

Submissions for prose and poetry must be sent in via our submission form. If you have any problems with the submission form then please send us an email asap. If you let us know about your tech issues after November 23rd, we won’t be able to do much to help.

We won’t really start looking at submissions until January since December will be a pretty busy month for the entire staff. So if you do submit work to us then you should expect to hear back from us sometime in February. Or sooner. But probably February.

One last reminder, while we are a political literary journal, we encourage you to expand your imagination when it comes to the target of your commentary. By all means, be hyper specific with your work, but what you are saying on a broader level should speak to something a little more universal…or interesting. If that sounded vague, don’t worry, I’m sure whatever you are working on will struck the right balance. If you’re still confused just read our past issues, I think our past contributors have excelled at meeting the moment in their art.

Just in case you missed it, our newest issue of RABBLE REVIEW launched on October 10th! We’re very proud of the issue and the work contained within. Read it, then reread it!

We’re excited to announce that we are adding another editor to our team. We’ll have more to share about her soon, but Valerie Vargas will be joining our team as a new editor to help work on RABBLE REVIEW No.9. If you want to learn more about her you can visit her website: https://valerievv.persona.co/

We’re delighted to announce that we will be having our 3rd ever livestream to celebrate the launch of RABBLE REVIEW No.9 on November 9th. The livestream will be streamed on both our Twitch and YouTube channels. No invite is required, just tune in on either channel on November 9th to watch us live.

We will have contributor readings to start. After that we will have a RABBLE REVIEW No.9 postmortem, and we will also discuss what’s coming up for RABBLE REVIEW, future plans, and more. We also hope to have Valerie on the stream as well so you all can meet her.

If you miss the livestream, the archive will exist on our YouTube channel. You can also watch our very first livestream below to get a sense of what we’ll be doing:

The livestream on November 9th will feature readings from the following RABBLE REVIEW No.9 contributors:

I love reading and re-reading the work from our contributors, but I especially love hearing them read their own work. I can’t wait for you to hear it as well on November 9th.

The stream will be happening at 5pm Pacific Time/8pm Eastern Time. Please check your local time zones for our friends who are outside of North America. That’s 5pm Pacific Time on November 9th. I’ll be sure to post links and reminders in the leadup on our socials and our website as the date gets closer. We hope to see you then!

Fiction:

That’s all for now reader. Thank you so much for reading and for supporting us. We’re excited to continue sharing wonderful work with you, and to continue building our community.

Also if you’re active on Facebook, we’re finally updating it, so feel free to follow our page there. But to be honest it won’t be any different than our social accounts on Twitter and BlueSky. It’s one more password I have to remember, which is never fun.

Stay safe out there!
