SLAB is published out of the Languages, Literatures, and Cultures Department at Slippery Rock University. The journal was founded in 2005 by Dr. Danette DiMarco and Dr. Mark O’Connor.
We seek on-the-cusp poetry, fiction, creative nonfiction, and text-based graphic art. We do not publish religious or children’s stories. The best way to see what we publish is to view content of our past issues in our archives. In 2012 SLAB was awarded the National Program Directors’ Prize for Undergraduate Literary Magazines by the Association of Writers and Writing Programs (AWP). SLAB is a member of AWP and CLMP.
