STOCKYARD is an American online cultural magazine that focuses on society, politics, art, and literature. While the magazine’s articles often center on its native Chicago, STOCKYARD fascinates readers from across the nation and around the world. It publishes highly stylized reportage, commentary, reviewing, fiction and poetry, satire, narrative nonfiction, and art.
Launched in 2008, the magazine takes its name from the Union Stockyards, whose cleavers helped the City of the Big Shoulders hack its way to national import. In this spirit, STOCKYARD reports on a variety of both gritty and glamorous urban interests; a genuinely Chicago publication, it tackles both the high and the low—stripping the city, and America, all the way down.
The subject line of all submission emails should indicate the genre(s) of the work(s) attached. STOCKYARD prefers to receive only three submissions per author semi-annually, and only through electronic submission.
STOCKYARD cannot be responsible for the return or loss of any unsolicited electronic materials. Those submitting manuscripts, art work, or any other materials should not send originals unless specifically requested to do so by a member of staff.
