WHAT WE WILL PRINT

We welcome stories and articles from our readers. Your contribution may be informative, educational or a personal experience. It may be exciting, thought provoking, funny, sad or otherwise interesting. In fact, we will consider any work which encourages an understanding of our spiritual selves and of each other.

WHAT WE WON’T PRINT

>We are not interested in any material that promotes hatred or discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation, race, gender, age, religion, class or physical or mental ability.
>Blatantly promotional submissions with the sole intent of "plugging" a commercial service or product will not be published within editorial space (but we would be most happy to discuss advertising options with you).
>We will only accept ORIGINAL work from the author. If the work is NOT YOUR OWN, do not send it.

WHEN WILL MY SUBMISSION APPEAR?

Your article may not appear in the next edition of the magazine. It is impossible to print every article we receive straight away and we often plan themes for future editions well in advance. If your submission is of interest we will advise you when it is to be published.
