Guidelines

CURRENTLY CLOSED FOR SUBMISSION

The Red Mud Review has been revamped! We are ready to hear your voice through writing. We look forward to reading diverse, underrepresented, and unique pieces of literature. Our goal is to include voices from Middle Tennessee that have yet to be heard. We would love to uplift and encourage anyone 18 years old and older to submit your important work. If you are having trouble submitting, please email us at. This process is new to us, but we want to make sure everyone gets an opportunity to submit.
