Submission Guidelines
Foreshadow's theme for 2025 and 2026 is 'Offerings and Openings'.
We are exploring the connected movements between giving ourselves wholly to God and receiving all of God's good gifts with thanksgiving.
We welcome submissions in dialogue with our theme(s) and in the following genres:
Familiarising yourself with Foreshadow will give you a good idea of the kind of work we publish.
Word count is flexible and considered on a case-by-case basis, but generally, we aim for 500–3,000 words for prose.
We publish content that contributes to our theme and aligns with our vision, even if we do not fully agree with every detail of the work's message or implications. That said, Foreshadow avoids publishing content that contradicts the teaching of the three main Christian groups of Orthodox, Catholic and Protestant (e.g., the Nicene Creed).
We are now able to respond only to those whose works we are interested in publishing.
If you're unsure if your writing is suitable or have any other questions, do get in touch -- we'd love to hear from anyone interested in collaborating on this project.
Please say if your submission has been previously published elsewhere, along with appropriate details.
Send submissions or queries, along with a short biography of yourself, to [email protected].
