The Journal of Contemporary Heathen Thought accepts submissions of essays, interviews, poetry and artwork from members of the Heathen community.  We publish material within the domains of Philosophy, Theology and Religious Studies (e.g. Anthropology of Religion, Sociology of Religion, Psychology of Religion, etc.) as well as reviews of recently published books of interest to the journal's mission and readership.  We are currently accepting submissions for the next volume of the journal and accept submissions on a continual basis.  As a publication geared towards encouraging dialogue, we publish pieces of an academic nature as well as those whose contents are more generally accessible.  There is no minimum or maximum length for submissions, but the average essay length is between 5,000 and 10,000 words—with book reviews averaging 500 to 2,000 words.  In all cases, the length of the piece being submitted should be proportional to the content's depth and complexity.  As a publication striving to explore Heathenry through the intellectual tools of Western academics, we expect submissions to adhere to the same standards of style and content as would a university paper.  Citations and references are of particular import in this.  The journal is an English language publication, which adheres to North American spelling and punctuation conventions.  All articles must be delivered either as OpenOffice (this is the preferred format) or Microsoft Word documents.  All citations must be prepared according the Chicago (aka Turabian) style, the details of which may be found in The Chicago Manual of Style.  Further, all citations are to be done using footnotes, not endnotes.  All artwork, tables and/or figures which are not created indigenously within the text editor (i.e. any object which is a file that is inserted into the document) must be submitted as separate files.  Place indicators in the body of the text as to where such visuals are to be placed.  Any graphics must be of high quality, 300dpi or greater.  Also, any such pictures, if not the property of the author must be properly cited.  Any further questions about the appropriateness of a topic, formatting requirements, etc. should be directed to the editorial staff.  Questions and submissions may be sent to: heathen.editor@gmail.com
