About

Hot Metal Bridge, the literary magazine of the University of Pittsburgh, publishes two issues annually: fall and spring. We have published work by Russell Banks, Tom Perotta, Maxine Hong Kingston, Dan Chaon, Michelle Wildgen, Ewa Chrusciel, Charles Baxter and Don Lee, but we also maintain an emphasis on finding new material from emerging and previously unpublished writers. Hot Metal Bridge privileges no particular aesthetic or school of thought; we simply seek the most accomplished, surprising work in contemporary literature.

    Yeah! I will submit soon. By the way, I don’t see La Bloga on your links of litblogs. We’re dedicated to Chicano/Latino literature and art. Here we are: http://labloga.blogspot.com/

    Could you list your journals and litblogs in alphabetical order? That way it’s just easier to read.

    I read about you on Book Fox. How might I go about submitting something for consideration? This comment bloc does not appear to be designed for that purpose. Are you strictly online at this time, or is there a hard copy publication?
