Published yearly, the magazine features the writings and artwork of Towson students and others in the community.[1] The magazine is nationally recognized and has won many awards given by the Columbia Press Association. It is available free of charge at locations on the Towson University campus.
Grub Street was founded in 1952.[2] The magazine is named after "Grub Street", a former street in London's impoverished Moorfields district. In the 18th and 19th centuries, the street was famous for its concentration of mediocre, impoverished 'hack writers', aspiring poets, and low-end publishers and booksellers, who existed on the margins of the journalistic and literary scene. Grub Street's bohemian, impoverished literary scene was set amidst the poor neighborhood's low-rent flophouses, brothels, and coffeehouses.
The popular horror novelist Ronald Malfi had published some of his early stories in Grub Street while attending Towson University.[3]
