About South Loop Review

South Loop Review: Creative Nonfiction + Art magazine publishes essays and memoir, lyric and experimental forms, non-linear narratives, blended genre, photography and art. We look for personal essays and memoir with fresh voices and new takes on presentation and form. As well, we look for photography and art that creates a strong resonance.

South Loop Review: Creative Nonfiction + Art is published annually by the Nonfiction Program within Columbia College Chicago's English Department. The premiere issue was published in 1997 and contained some of the best student-generated work from the creative nonfiction and literature programs in the college. Beginning in 2003, South Loop Review began to solicit work nationally and engage in the public discourse on creative nonfiction by publishing creative nonfiction exclusively for a nationwide audience.

South Loop Review: Creative Nonfiction + Art is edited by Rose Blouin and Josalyn Knapic along with a panel of editors that includes nonfiction faculty, graduate and undergraduate students.SLR’s former editor was Re’Lynn Hansen.
