The Chaos Journal of Personal Narrative
Website
From the Editor
The Chaos Journal of Personal Narrative is an independent, quarterly online journal of narrative nonfiction. We publish essays, 500-7,500 words, about personal experience from new, emerging, and established writers.
As the name of our journal suggests, we are particularly interested in publishing stories that illustrate the chaos of life. We are drawn to tragedy balanced with the sweet relief of humor, and writing that takes us into the scene of the story and the mind of the narrator. We are real people who want to read real stories about real people. We
want to be astonished, moved, and inspired. Send us your best work.

The Chaos accepts submissions of narrative personal essays, 1,500-7,500 words. We do not accept previously published work. General submissions are accepted on a rolling basis throughout the year. One to two times per year we publish themed issues.
