Writers Guidelines
Share Your Article with Our Readers!
Writers are encouraged to submit articles to New Spirit Journal.
We are interested in material which will help the readers create a
happier, healthier world where all of us can live and grow.
We are looking for practical, hands-on, "how-to" sorts of articles
about career, health, finances, relationships, and spiritual growth.
Articles should be 500 to 1000 words in length and all are subject to our editing requirements.
We do not accept simultaneous submission of articles and we prefer to print original material. There are so many people with something to share that it does not make sense for several publications to print the same material at the same time in the same geographical area. This is a disservice to the readers. If you want us to consider your article, please submit it to us and await our response. If we do not accept it, then send it to a different publication and await their response. This is the professional way to handle your writing and everyone benefits, especially the readers.
We discourage articles that are purely promotional in nature. If you want to talk about your business or product, do so in such a way that your article instructs the reader, whether or not the person ever meets you or tries your product. Articles which are poorly written or purely promotional in content will be refused.
For instance, if you teach yoga, tell us about what yoga does for the body, mind and spirit of a person. What kinds of yoga are there? Perhaps describe or show through photos some simple poses readers can try on their own. Don't write an article telling us what a great teacher you are or the time and place and cost of your classes. That information rightly belongs in an ad.
We do not pay for articles, but you may include up to 40 words about yourself at the end of the article and give people contact information should they wish to get in touch with you. We do not pay for articles because if we did only professional writers would be heard.
We sincerely believe that many people have wonderful ideas to share but not all are professional writers. We want to be a community forum where many voices can be heard, not just those of professional writers. Having said that, we welcome submissions from professionals as long as they realize they will not be paid.
You can submit material for our consideration by e-mailing it to:
editor@newspiritjournal.com. Your article must be either in the body of the e-mail or attached as a plain text file.
We look forward to you joining the voices within New Spirit Journal!
Happy writing!
