About Tempered Steel

Tempered Steel is an annual literary magazine that publishes creative work by Colorado State University Pueblo and Pueblo Community College students from across majors and experiences and from writers in the greater Pueblo area. We strive to publish pieces highlighting the best area writers and artists have to offer, accepting submissions in fiction, nonfiction, poetry, drama, translation, book reviews, artwork, cartoons, and self-contained comics. We are open for submissions all year, and the journal is published in May. Work is selected for publication by students in English 445 Magazine Editing and Publishing and English faculty.
