The Seven Gill Shark Review, College of the Redwoods' literary magazine, is currently accepting submissions of original poetry, fiction, and creative nonfiction from Humboldt County community members, as well as staff, faculty, and students at the CR Eureka campus.   The submission period is currently open and will be through noon on March 25, 2020. 

Submissions may consist of up to four pieces of work.  Short stories or essays are limited to four pages double-spaced, and you may submit up to two short stories or essays. Entries should be emailed to david-holper@redwoods.edu.

The first place poem, story, and creative non-fiction pieces will each receive prizes of $100; second place will receive $25 gift certificates. The poetry prize is generously sponsored by Northtown Books of Arcata, the prose prize by Booklegger Books of Eureka, and the creative nonfiction prize by North Coast Mensa members.

Additionally, all writers whose work is accepted are eligible to be considered for the Hobson Award, which is a $250 award given to the best entry in any genre that builds bridges between species, religions, cultures, ages, or genders.  These prizes are for both campus and community members, though not for faculty or staff of College of the Redwoods. All authors whose work is accepted will be invited to read at our college-wide celebration on the CR Eureka campus on Friday, April 24 at 7pm in Humanities 110.
