Creative expression with positive purpose.
Steel Jackdaw magazine celebrates art and creativity, combining heart and passion with social and environmental change.
Stand up and speak out.
This journal is a space to be brave, sharing unique voices and observations of life that champion positive change, social cohesion, and eco issues. It promotes the struggles of mental health, social issues, diversity and equality, and the transformative power of nature through writing, performance, crafts, and art to educate, heal, and grow.
“Steel Jackdaw has quickly become one of my favourite literary magazines. Digital magazines often range in stylistic choices and editorial preferences, but Steel Jackdaw stands out immediately. It has the classic print style of a coffee shop magazine. The kind you cannot help but pick up, flick through and ponder on. This is how literary magazines should be.”
“A beautiful diverse, inclusive magazine, with words from the heart. Pages of truths, of a modern world and times gone by, nestled inside a cover of wonderful artwork.
Creativity at its finest. A window to the world’s realities.”
“Cometh the hour, cometh the arts magazine. Steel Jackdaw sits in perfect synergy with an emerging zeitgeist, eschewing the bankrupt narratives and practices established art publications remain wedded to. Artists help change the world, and at a time when change has never been more needed, SJ promotes a necessarily alternative way forward. It’s also a deeply fulfilling read.”
