Slice, a Brooklyn-based nonprofit print magazine, is the brainchild of two book editors with a firsthand view of how difficult it is for new authors to have their voices heard. We aim to spark a dialogue between emerging and established writers. In each issue, a specific cultural theme becomes the catalyst for short stories, articles, interviews, and poems from renowned writers and lesser known voices alike. We're looking for anyone with a fresh voice and a compelling story to share--basically any work that really knocks our socks off. |

The Southern California Review This year, our theme is "CONTROL," a concept that has become the currency of the moment. Technology's utility appears at odds with its intrusiveness. The structure or government expands at the price of personal liberty. We struggle for power in relationships, in the workplace, and in the family. |
