Conditions of content submission

Unsolicited manuscripts: We do not accept unsolicited manuscripts. If you would like to write articles or develop any kind of content for us, first take time to read the ABOUT US page and read some of the magazine to get familiar with our content and writing style.

Successful Submissions: If we ask you to write or develop content for us we will proceed to discuss it with you directly and provide you with specific details. We prefer article submissions as Word attachments that include a short three or four line bio about you. Submissions to the website are on a donation basis (byline and bio as well as linking to any book, service or ministry you are involved in are compensation). Articles are automatically archived. Please double-check spelling and grammar before submitting. All articles will be edited for length, grammar, content, style and tone.

Media inclusion: We are a visual society, so photos and videos are very important components to an article. Don’t let a lack of photos stop you from telling a compelling story, but if you don’t have them, we’ll have to find them somewhere. Two to three photos per story are a minimum. 

Legal permission for content usage: Any material that is not your own must have full credit given to the source and be used with permission or within legal standards.  You must indemnify us that your material can be printed legally and without restriction.

Lastly: We have opportunities on our team for recurring “expert” columnists and department editors. Let us know if you would like to be considered for one of these positions.
