TOGETHER writer's guidelines

Our focus is fast-moving personal experience stories (up to 1,200 words) of salvation and Christian growth, although we welcome experiences on the growth of family relations.

TOGETHER pays up to $50 per article on publication, depending on length and quality of writing. Pictures or illustrations pay extra, if useable.

• Be careful to avoid religious jargon that would tend to distract or turn off the reader who is not a Christian. TOGETHER is not primarily written for Christians, and many people in our society today have no time for religion or think it is irrelevant to them, although they may be looking for deeper meaning in life.

• We review manuscripts about every three months; therefore we beg your patience and we'll try to respond to most inquiries within four months.

To get a better idea of the approach of TOGETHER, you can download a pdf of past editions from the archive to the right, or request a sample copy by mailing a self-addressed and stamped enveloped with four 24 cent stamps attached to Shalom Foundation, 1251 Virginia Ave, Harrisonburg, VA 22802.
