Write for the Review

Your story could strengthen thousands of families

The RenewaNation Review is fast becoming a leading magazine in biblical worldview education. Twice a year we place more than 30,000 full-color copies in the hands of pastors, parents, educators, business leaders, and legislators — and we're always looking for insightful, biblically grounded writers.

From first draft to printed page

Five steps stand between your idea and one of the most widely read Christian magazines today. Here's the path every article travels.

  1. Step 1

    Get to know the Review

    Before you write a word, read several articles from our past issues to get familiar with our style, tone, the topics we cover, and our audience — pastors, parents, families, Christian educators, business professionals, and legislators.

  2. Step 2

    Write your article

    Aim for 800–1,200 words of original writing you own the rights to, and include your full name with a short, concise bio. Skip poetry, fiction, miscellaneous book or movie reviews, Bible studies, and sermons — we’re unable to publish those.

  3. Step 3

    Cite your sources carefully

    Our readers trust us for original, well-attributed content. Use manual superscript numbers matched to endnotes at the end of your document — please don’t use the footnote/endnote features in Word or other software. Quote Scripture from the ESV or NIV where possible, and double-check every reference. And please: no pictures for design purposes.

  4. Step 4

    Send it in

    Email your article to our editorial team. Every submission goes through a peer review process, and the team decides to accept, accept with changes, or reject it. Your article may be returned to you for revisions, and all articles are edited for length, grammar, content, style, and tone.

  5. Step 5

    Watch for publication

    Accepted articles enter our queue for a future edition of The RenewaNation Review magazine, a blog post, or both. Because of the volume of submissions we receive, we aren’t always able to respond to every one — but every submission is read and prayerfully considered.
