RipRap is a literary journal designed and produced annually by a team of CSULB students from our MFA program as well as undergraduates. Our literary journal was called Hornspoon at its inception in 1951 until it was renamed Gambit and finally, in 1979, RipRap.

RipRap features both established and emerging writers from across the country as well as enlightening interviews of award-winning, published writers. New editions of the journal are published each May.

RipRap offers a humble invitation to talented and aspiring writers of all genres and is open to everyone. Specifically, RipRap publishes creative short fiction and nonfiction, poetry, and art such as photography, illustration and comics. The journal is especially interested in work that is innovative, forward-thinking, and as entertaining as it is thought-provoking.
