Send your submission to [email protected]
In the body of your email, please include a brief cover letter addressed to the Surely As the Sun editors, as well as a brief (<50 word) third-person biography. Please let us know your name, but should your writing be accepted, you may opt to have the piece(s) published anonymously, or with a pseudonym. Although we believe the Scripture's truth is something beautiful to be unashamed of, we understand that everyone's circumstances are unique, and we want to make acknowledging the LORD as comfortable as possible for you. Due to the large volume of submissions we receive, we are only able to respond to submissions we are interested in publishing. Our response time can vary from a few weeks to several months. Terms: Once a piece of yours has been accepted, we reserve electronic rights as well as the right to archive your work on our website. After publication, all copyrights revert back to the author, and you may seek reprints elsewhere. Please do credit As Surely As the Sun as the original publisher if this is the case. We accept reprints. Please let us know the name of the original publisher in the body of your email so that we can credit them. We'd also recommend checking the original publisher's reprint policies before sending a previously published piece our way. We also welcome simultaneous submissions. Please note in the body of your email if any of your pieces are being considered elsewhere, and update us accordingly on the status of said pieces. |
