Following the success of our inaugural conference last year, the Mid-Atlantic College Student Literary Magazine Conference co-chairs are issuing a Call for Presentations for the October 9, 2009, conference to be held at Ocean County College, Toms River, New Jersey.

Presentations may focus on any aspect of student literary magazines and may address but are not limited to :
--innovative student-faculty collaborations in and beyond the classroom

--collaborations involving student literary magazines and other departments, clubs, organizations
--graphic design and layout

Please send abstracts of 250-300 words, including title of presentation, names of all presenters, email addresses for all presenters, and college affiliation.
