Hot Metal Bridge, the literary magazine created by MFA students at 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, Sherman Alexie, Sherrie Flick, and Don Lee, but we also maintain an emphasis on finding new material from emerging and previously unpublished writers.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.

What is the Hot Metal Bridge Program?
The Hot Metal Bridge Program at the Dietrich School of Arts and Sciences at the University of Pittsburgh is a new two-semester post-baccalaureate fellowship program for students who will help us meet our diversity goals. We will provide a two-term fellowship for fall and spring term 2012-2013 (including tuition and stipend) for up to nine fellows. The point of the HMBP is to bridge the gap between an undergraduate degree and a graduate training program, and to help individuals prepare themselves for a successful program of doctoral studies. The four featured programs for academic year 2012-2013 are: Biological Sciences, Computer Science, English and Psychology.

Remember, there is ANOTHER Hot Metal Bridge upstream, at the old US Steel Plant, called the "Carrie Furnace Hot Metal Bridge". It is presently undeveloped but is owned by a group that wants to make it another bike crossing the Monongahela River.
