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. We strive to publish pieces that highlight the best that area students have to offer, accepting submissions in fiction, nonfiction, poetry, drama, translation, book reviews, artwork, cartoons, and self-contained comics. We also welcome hybrid genres and any other genres that demonstrate a high level of artistry and craft; however, we do not accept academic papers.

Thank you for considering your work for submission to Tempered Steel, and we look forward to reading all the fantastic pieces our community has to offer.
