Mission Statement / Editorial Focus
Chapter House Journal is an online literary journal committed to empowering and uplifting Indigenous and marginalized stories, values, cultures, and art. We publish writers and artists from a diverse range of backgrounds, experiences, styles, and aesthetics whose work aligns with this mission. We strongly encourage submissions from Native American, First Nation, and Indigenous people, Black and Brown people, lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer and non-binary people, individuals with disabilities, and all members of historically marginalized communities. We welcome submissions from both emerging and published writers. Housed within the Institute of American Indian Arts (IAIA) Low Residency MFA Program, we publish issues on a biannual basis. We accept submissions in fiction, creative nonfiction, poetry, and visual art. All submissions, including solicitations, are read by our dedicated editors, comprised of IAIA MFA students and faculty advisors. Our editors also manage publication decisions, website design, and blog content. We are committed to serving as a literary well for Indigenous and marginalized communities. We warmly invite all creators with aligned interests and passions to contribute to this powerful, dynamic, and ever-growing landscape of art and literature.

Do You Have Any Cover Letter Advice?
Keep your cover letter brief and grounded—share who you are in relation to your work and community, name anything you want editors to understand about context or care, and don’t feel pressured to translate your identity or experience.
Do You Have A Favorite Unsolicited Submission Discovery Or Anecdote?
Some of our favorite unsolicited discoveries are pieces where form and content move as onewhere the structure feels inseparable from the story being told, and the work is grounded in lived experience, relationship, and responsibility.
Who Is Your Ideal Reader?
Our ideal reader is Indigenous; someone who recognizes shared ways of knowing across land and water, while remaining open to anyone willing to engage with care, respect, and a sense of relationship.
