About

Our Philosophy

At Chicago Story Press, we believe in championing authors. That’s why we offer our literary journal subscription for free, encourage our writers to share their work widely, and ensure that copyright reverts to the authors after publication.

We founded this press because we love stories and essays. The way they can affect you, stay with you, teach you, and transform you. When we find authors with stories no one else has ever read, we want to be the ones to get them out into the world. And when those authors affect readers and make a strong impression, it makes all our hard work worth it.
