CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS

We are currently working on our next book. Stay tuned for the next call for submissions.

Before You Submit

 Chicago Story Press loves storytellers. We would love to publish your work, but before you submit please understand that taking your story from the stage to the page is a process; it's a collaboration between the teller and the editors. 


On stage, tellers rely on their voice, mannerisms, etc. We will help you get that on the page through a series of edits, which you have the right to accept or dismiss. And at any point in the process you may opt out. 


For editing, we adhere to the Chicago Manual of Style, which is the gold standard in publishing. However, when it come to the dialogue in your piece or internal thoughts, we will not be strict. People do not speak and think in proper English.


When the editor and writer have come to a final product, the teller will be sent a contract to sign. Feel free to look it over in advance. All authors will retain the rights to their story and receive compensation depending on the sales of the volume.


If that sounds good, please feel free to submit your story.  We look forward to reading it.
