Submission Guidelines

We welcome submissions from all Goddess Women, no matter where they live or where they are on their spiritual paths. We celebrate the diversity of women who embrace the Goddess and hope to hear from a variety of voices in the greater community of Goddess Women.

Essays: We're particularly interested in "Living the Life" submissions — personal experiences, practices, perceptions. See Bebhinn's "Power in Darkness" and Chava's "Decorating the Temple Walls" for examples.

  • We prefer material that has not been previously published. Electronic submissions are encouraged.
  • We prefer submissions of no more than 1500 words for web-readability, though we do occasionally publish longer pieces.
  • We edit all written materials. We will not publish any alterations to your material without your express consent.
