Anthology of Chicago is currently accepting submissions of poems and stories inspired by Bronzeville and Lincoln Square. Anthology of Chicago is an online literary project collecting pieces that evoke the spirit of Chicago’s many neighborhoods, celebrating those neighborhoods and the writers that live, work, and play in them. Pieces for Hyde Park, Pilsen, and Logan Square can be read at the website.
Chicago’s neighborhoods are crucibles for history and culture and architecture and lovers and fighters and ghosts. Anthology of Chicago wants you to use your neighborhood as sandbox and springboard. Let us run our fingers over your mental map, whether it’s brand new or fraying at the edges. Show us your ghosts. Bring us around your Chicago. We want to point to your piece and proclaim with that Chicago confidence, “That’s Hyde Park! (or Pilsen, or Logan Square, or Andersonville). Couldn’t be anywhere else.”
Please view the detailed submission guidelines on our website, and submit through our submissions manager when you’re ready to go. Submissions are due by Monday, September 30th.
