We've changed our submission policies and you can now feel free to submit anything about Chicago and the surrounding metro area. And you can submit anonymously...

Write anything, really. Poetry. Politics. Criticism. Want to get something off your chest? Go ahead. See something funny? Tell us about it. Remember the old Craigslist section titled "Missed Connections" and did you feel like you missed a connection with someone? Maybe they'll read it here.

We also now have weekly writing prompts, open to everyone. You can find them here: Chicago Journal Weekly Writing Prompts.
