    Slough Press has been publishing fiction, poetry, and essays for thirty years.  The focus of the press is on contemporary literary authors who experiment with form, communication to a wide audience, and hope to influence the culture positively.  A number of authors, such as Pat Littledog, Marion Winik, and Ricardo Sanchez, have published with New York commercial publishers and achieved greater distribution and wider frame, but Slough Press must continue its work because large commercial publishers are interested primarily in profits, not quality writing.  The Press has received grants from the Texas Arts Commission and has won numerous awards.
