River Paw Press I Life and Legends
Silent River, a CLMP member, is an independent literary and media arts organization, dedicated to publishing and promoting world literature and creative expression since 2010. Through its publishing programs—River Paw Press, Life and Legends magazine, and the Silent River Poetry Prizes—it continues to build an inclusive and evolving literary ecosystem that not only publishes and promotes work, but also nurtures dialogue, cultural exchange, and the enduring power of the written words and visual arts. Please review the specific submission guidelines for each open call before submitting. We look forward to reading your work.
We publish work that reflects diverse voices, lived experiences, and meaningful engagement with the world. Please read the guidelines carefully and submit your work accordingly.
Please note that Poetry and Translation submissions are subject to a submission cap. Once the cap is reached, we will no longer accept submissions in these categories, regardless of the stated deadline, until submissions reopen for our Autumn edition in July.
We invite submissions of book reviews, interviews and essays that engage thoughtfully with contemporary literature. Please review the full submission guidelines below before submitting.
