To submit a story idea (whether for the print magazine or for Vantage, our web-exclusives section), send a pitch, your résumé and a list of your published works to [email protected].

Please note that while we read every pitch we receive, we are unable to respond to each one. Note also that we are currently not accepting fiction or poetry submissions.

Pitches for the blog section should be 100-200 words long. Pitches for all other sections should be 300-400 words long. To familiarise yourself with our various sections and the contents and style of each one, please see our previously published pieces.

Including good photographs with a submission improves its chances of being accepted. Please note that Chicago Literati is not open to reviews from marketers or publicists, and there will be no remuneration for contributions to this section.
