About

Rockvale Review believes language is power, and writing is one conduit for unleashing that power. We believe writers have a unique way of seeing the world and sharing experiences, emotions, dreams and passions. Their voices raise awareness, challenge stereotypes, create beauty, pose questions, speak personal truths, and spark imagination. This online journal acknowledges and celebrates the power of writing, and supports the journey of writers. All voices are welcome here. Come, show us the power of your words.

Fees Notice: This project charges fees (or requires purchases) for all submissions, and they do not offer monetary payment for accepted submissions. (Note: About 8% of magazines always charge fees.)
The fee is USD $3 (average for magazines that charge).
