Chapter House Journal is an online literary journal promoting the ideals and vision of the Institute of American Indian Arts (IAIA) Low Residency MFA Creative Writing Program. We publish on a rolling basis. While Chapter House is rooted in an Indigenous centered program, we look to publish writers from a diverse range of backgrounds, experiences, styles, and aesthetics.
Chapter House publishes fiction, creative nonfiction, poetry, and screenwriting. All submissions, including solicitations, are read by a staff of IAIA MFA students and faculty advisors. The staff also manages submissions, solicitations, publication decisions, website design, and blog content.
Through the Chapter House blog we publish original content including reviews, interviews, video footage of craft talks and readings from faculty members and visiting writers. Blog contributors are solicited through our student body.
