Pithead Chapel is a small, independent journal out of Michigan’s Upper Peninsula, run by people who love to read and write fiction.

Editorial Statement: At Pithead Chapel, we’re looking for engaging stories told in honest voices. Most of all, we want to feel something. We want to reach the last word and immediately crave more. We want your story to leave a brilliant bruise. Send us your best work and we’ll do our best to get your voice heard. Sorry, we’re not into genre pieces (e.g. science fiction, horror, fantasy, and romance).

Pithead Chapel electronically publishes literary fiction monthly. At present we only accept literary fiction submissions under 4,000 words. All submissions that fall within our guidelines will be considered for an upcoming issue.
