steel wool magazine is an independent, artist-run literary publication for the drifters and musers –
for those suspended in space and stillness, who invite friction and interrogate what’s given. steel wool mag reaches wildly for the ether while digging its heels deep into Earth’s molten core.
we seek to platform voices and stories that might not otherwise be heard, with particular attention to writers of color, women, and others navigating the margins of literary culture.
we look for familiar obscurity and abstract mundanity.
based in Los Angeles’ South Bay and founded by a young Black woman, steel wool mag is a new press seeking innovation.
