About

Memoryhouse Magazine curates the personal narratives of the University of Chicago community and beyond through creative writing and visual art. Memoryhouse loves you daring over-sharers, diarists, egoists, comedians, tragedians, neurotics, autobiographers, Emily Dickinsons, and David Sedarises more than you will ever know. We accept all forms and genres so long as it presents a personal narrative.

Important: Preference is given to those with a strong connection to Chicago.

Always read the full guidelines provided by the publisher.
Try to read at least one previous publication to get a better idea of what the editor would like to see.
Unless the publisher's guidelines state otherwise, always use industry standard manuscript formatting.
Be professional, patient, and persistent.
