Write for Us

Thanks for your interest in writing for Transpositions. This blog exists to create conversations between Christian theology and the arts, interacting with relevant ideas, trends and scholarship for popular and academic audiences, and we invite guest contributions that further this goal. Submissions of article abstracts (50-100 words) or full articles (500-600 words) can be emailed to transpositionstheblog[at]gmail[dot]com, along with brief biographical details. If you do submit an article or your abstract is accepted, please consider the following guidelines:

  • Purpose: The purpose of articles is not just to inform, but also to invite conversation. It is important, therefore, that articles should not only present a position or pose a question, but also  invite conversation or feedback on stated positions or questions.
  • Topic: We are open to considering any topic dealing with the intersection between theology, imagination, and the arts.
  • Language and Style: Since we desire to write to both a popular and academic audience, please avoid overly technical language and style, but if using technical terminology is necessary, make sure this terminology is adequately explained. All submissions will be proofread and small editorial changes may be made
  • Length: Articles should be between 500-600 words, although book reviews may be up to 1000 words. If articles exceed this word limit, they may be returned for rewriting.
  • Submission: Once your article is accepted and a publication date established, we expect the final article to be submitted to us no later than two days prior to the publication date.
  • Responsibility: If your article is published, you will be expected to respond to any comments and facilitate the conversation in a timely fashion.
  • Copyright and Permissions: Any article published on Transpositions is archived with the British Library, but copyright remains with the author. Reprints are permitted four weeks after initial publication here at Transpositions, and we ask that any reprints contain a line indicating the article was first published on Transpositions. We also reserve the right to rerun your article at a later date.
  • Remuneration. At this point, we are unable to provide any remuneration for articles, but your contributions are highly valuable and serve to promote valuable conversations.
