Questions
Do you have specific requirements for pieces?
Your piece can be of any style, length, or genre, as long as it deals with a topic in the humanities.
Your piece must be in English*. If it is in a different language, please supply your own translation or request a translation with us. Please note that excerpts or headings in a different language are welcome as long as a translation is supplied as a footnote.
*A note on spelling: you may utilize either British or American spelling. Readers will find both on our website, depending on the author's location/preference.
Do you accept poetry?
Yes, we accept both poetry and prose poetry.
Do you accept STEM writing?
We do not, unless (1) your piece is interdisciplinary and concerns topics in the humanities just as much as topics in STEM, or (2) your piece explores STEM from a humanities viewpoint or is a personal reflection on a STEM topic.
Do you accept a piece that has already been published elsewhere?
Yes.
I still feel unsure about my writing. What should I do?
Don't worry. If you aren't sure about a piece, the best thing to do is to send it to us with an explanation and/or a request for proofreading. We can work with you to discuss your options and our proofreaders can suggest possible changes.
Do you accept artwork/photography?
We do not accept independent pieces of artwork. However, we are recruiting artists. You are more than welcome to provide illustrations or photography for our website!
Are you still recruiting?
Yes. We welcome new writers, proofreaders, and artists.
