[Open Mic Online]
Attention all Rice Students! The Open Mic Online blog is open for business! We accept all kinds of creative work, including but not limited to: short fiction, poetry, creative nonfiction, visual art, dramatic readings, performances, short movies, songs, and reviews. You can send us anything, at any time of the year.
Our goal is to spotlight the creative works of Rice students, everybody is welcome here! We want to highlight works that can grab people’s attention and run with it.
We also have monthly prompts, which you can find below, for those that want a little bit of inspiration. And head to our Explore page to check out previously featured Open Mic Online submissions!

Current prompt:
This month, we are literally starved for content. Did you know the R2 staff is only allowed to eat when we get submissions to our new blog, Open Mic Online? Send us your most excellent food-themed stories, poems, and artwork. Wine and dine us with your finest poetry, belch up the greasiest fast fiction you can find, and cook up some sweet artwork. Please. Feed us. Now.
Welcoming poems, short fiction, and visual art. For a chance to be featured on our website, keep your entries below three double-spaced pages, refrain from more than three submissions each, and stay kosher (in terms of content). Send us your pieces by December 5th!
