Guest Contributor Guidelines

All article submissions must adhere to the Bible and bring glory to the Lord. The purpose of our Christian articles are to encourage women in their faith and grow in their personal relationship with God. Check out our Statement of Faith.

Submissions must be Christ-centered and written from a Christian standpoint. If a submission topic is not inspiring to the Christian faith, it will not be approved. Topic is everything. Many submissions are unapproved solely due to the topic chosen. Think encouragement, spiritual growth, Bible study, prayer life, worship, etc.

Articles should be well-written with a word count between 1000-2,500 words. Grammar is important, but an encouraging article with some grammatical errors is better than a perfectly written article that lacks spiritual encouragement. Approved articles that require minor alterations will be edited. Edits are to improve grammar, content, layout, and clarity. Contributors will only be notified of alterations if major alteration is required.
