What

MacDomhnall’s (pronounced “Mac-DOH-null’s”) is a magazine that publishes investigative journalism, literary nonfiction, and other good writing.

Where

MacDomhnall’s is based in Los Angeles, California. You can follow the magazine at Volume Six’s social media platforms on Facebook, Instagram, Bluesky, and X.

When

MacDomhnall’s doesn’t have a fixed publishing schedule. We focus on quality over quantity.

Why

We love writing and creating and having fun. We love righteous causes and independent thought and searching for some kind of truth. We love old-school magazines and alternative weeklies and New Journalism and investigative journalism and certain kinds of fiction. We love the arts and sports and all kinds of people and things. So we created MacDomhnall’s.
