History
one cool word magazine was created by Tracy Stefanucci and Ken Yong, with the first issue released in April 2006. The name is a play on words, and a joke about the fact that most magazine titles are simply one word that is cool (although, many people mistake the name for one cool world). The magazine's initial aims were to create a platform for work that was not currently being showcased in other Vancouver publications, and to unite the genres of art, writing and music to create dialogue between different mediums.
Since 2007, ocw has evolved to focus on inspiring creation and artistic development on a city, community and individual level.
ocw has been mentioned in Geist, Other Voices, Inc., Ricepaper, The Tyee (online), CITR-FM (radio), 99.3 The Fox (radio), and A New Rock Reality (TV).
