What format should meditations be in?
We read every meditation that comes to us, whether it is typed or handwritten, single- or double-spaced. But typed, double-spaced material is easier to read. Ideally, we like your work to come to us on white paper, typed. Your name, postal and email addresses should appear on every page you send, not just on a cover letter, in case the pages become separated from one another in handling. Meditations that you submit should include all the elements that appear on a meditation page in the magazine — a title, a suggested scripture reading, a quoted verse from the Bible, a story/anecdote from your life, a prayer, a “Thought for the Day” (a pithy, summarizing statement), and a Prayer Focus (suggestion for further prayer). Meditations should be about 250 words long, including all the elements listed above. | Return to Top | When will I know if my writing is going to be published?
