10 SLM Pets for 10 Years

These Split Lip staff pets are all just as excited as we are that we’ve reached ten years of the magazine! We wanted to honor their loving support and also show you their adorable faces. Enjoy, and celebrate alongside us by attending our reading on November 15th and ordering our 10th Anniversary postcards, which feature gorgeous words and artwork from 10 contributors!
