Article Submission Guidelines
February 2nd, 2008Submitting to Reach Out, Columbia!
ROC accepts inspirational/educational material that is in keeping with our mission statement:
“Reach Out, Columbia! is committed to presenting the heart and works of Jesus in clarity and purity. We strive to encourage a deeper, more steadfast love toward others, as well as provide a vehicle for the Body of Christ to come together as one voice in corporate agreement and expression of faith.”
We accept feature-length articles, essays and other musings, short stories, and poetry. Because our readership is non-denominational and composed of both Christians and non-Christians, we publish only works that are non-divisive in tone.
All submissions must be formatted in a Word Document (97-2003 or later version), Times New Roman font, 12 pt., single spaced. Each submission must be titled. At the top left corner, please include your name, address, phone number and e-mail address.
We prefer Bible references from the NIV version. If you prefer another, please identify which one. Copy the verse exactly as it is printed in the Bible. It should be formatted as follows: “For by grace you are saved, through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest any man should boast” (Ephesians 2:8, 9). A different version might be marked (Ephesians 2:8,9 KJV).
At the bottom of the page, please include a brief three- or four-line bio on yourself. You might reference earlier issues for style. E-mail your submission to: submit@reachoutcolumbia.com or, mail to Editor, Reach Out Columbia, PMB 345, Columbia, SC 29206. Please allow several weeks for a response.
Thank you for your interest in ROC. While we have a staff of regular writers, we also welcome submissions from others. We believe the collective efforts of many is what makes ROC so appealing to our diverse readership.
