The Slag Glass City Is Looking For Undergrad Interns For The Spring Quarter:
Slag Glass City is a DePaul magazine of the urban essay arts. We are a creative nonfiction and multidisciplinary media journal engaged with sustainability, identity, and art in urban environments. Our area of concern is the livable city, but our interpretation of this language, more familiar to urban planners, geographers, and city theorists than to artists, is multifaceted. We are interested in post-industrial greening of urban spaces—from rooftop gardens to elevated bike trails to vertical farms—but we are equally enthralled by interrogative art and performance that values social justice and queerness, reinvents form, and honors the green human need to pursue pleasure, beauty, and joy. Slag Glass City publishes continuously on the web—posting something new every month—as well an annually in miniature print form. We publish all shapes and disciplines of nonfiction arts, including: stories, reportage, essays, lyrics, photographs, visual arts, film and video, digital and audio works, performance, and new web-friendly forms we’ve yet to imagine.
Editorial interns for Slag Glass City will assist with submission deliberation, correspondence, light editing and proofreading, submission solicitation, social media and book festival promotion, website updating, working with the spring magazine class editorial board, as well as undertake other administrative tasks. Slag Glass City requests a commitment of 10-20 flexible hours a week. The internship is unpaid, requires concurrent enrollment in ENG 392 or ENG 509, and offers hands on learning in the field of editing and creative writing magazine work, under the direction of the editor, Barrie Jean Borich. Interns attend twice weekly meetings, on Zoom or on campus, as well as meeting asynchronously on Teams—and otherwise are able to make their own work schedule.
To apply please send Professor Barrie Borich, bborich@depaul.edu, an email describing your interest and experience.

Call For Submission: Desperate Literature Short Fiction Prize
The aim of the Desperate Literature Short Fiction Prize is both to celebrate the best of new short fiction and to give winners the most visibility possible for their writing. That’s why we’ve teamed up with fifteen different literary and artistic institutions to offer not only a cash prize and writing retreats but to ensure that all our shortlisters have the opportunity to be published in multiple print and online journals, have their work put in front of literary agents, and perform in multiple countries.
