Untold Volumes: Feminist Theology Poetry: Poems considering aspects of Christianity, other faith traditions, or an interfaith approach are welcome. Both traditional and experimental forms of poetry are welcome. Submission guidelines are here. If you have any questions, email: cftpoetry [at] eewc [dot] com.
Articles: These are longer pieces, between 1000-3000 words, that consider topics significant to Christian feminists. The essays can be personal or investigative, but must rely on the trademarks of good essay writing: having a strong beginning, middle, and end; showing, rather than telling; focusing on the individual as a means of understanding the universal; having a clear understanding of purpose and of audience. Submissions failing to connect with our audience because of theme, content, or tone will not be considered for Christian Feminism Today.
Blog Posts and Opinion Pieces: These are generally shorter pieces, between 600-1200 words, that consider current events significant to Christian feminists. This type of post will be published on the ViewPoint blog. These pieces are tightly-focused arguments written with a clearly defined position and clear support for the writer’s claims. Submissions failing to connect with our audience because of theme, content, or tone will not be considered for Christian Feminism Today.
Book Reviews: Book reviews are 700-1500 words. Generally, we review books published within the last year, although occasionally, we might accept reviews of older titles. If you are unsure whether the book you wish to review would appeal to our readers, make sure to query first!
Poetry Book Reviews: Untold Volumes welcomes book submissions from authors or publishers. We review poetry books that grapple with feminist theology from any faith tradition or an interfaith approach, chapbook or full-length. Traditional or experimental forms of poetry are welcome. To consider a book, Untold Volumes will require a copy of the book in print or digital form. Receipt of book does not guarantee a review. We do not review self-published work at this time. To submit your book, please fill out our book review submission form.
Music and Movie Reviews: Audio and video reviews are generally 700-1500 words. We are interested in reviews of music and movies of interest to Christian feminists, no matter their release date, so reviews of older material are welcome. If you are unsure whether the music or movie you wish to review would appeal to our readers, make sure to query first!
