From the Chautauqua Literary Journal guidelines:

The qualities we seek include a mastery of craft, attention to vivid and accurate language, a true lyric “ear,” an original and compelling vision, and strong narrative instinct. Above all, we value work that is intensely personal, yet somehow implicitly comments on larger public concerns — work that answers every reader’s most urgent question: Why are you telling me this? The journal is released once per year and feels more like an anthology. Each issue has four sections: Life of the Spirit, Life in Art, Life Lessons, and Life at Leisure. In addition, there is a section for young writers aged 12 to 18: Young Voices.

If you are unfamiliar with our journal, please consider purchasing an issue to best understand its structure.
