GUIDELINES FOR DEVOTIONAL SUBMISSIONS

Would you like to write a weekly devotional for crosshome? Then please follow these guidelines and perhaps we will use your writing. If you have any questions or would like to submit your writing after reading these guidelines, please e-mail us at: webmaster@crosshome.com

1. All writers must agree to crosshome's Statement of Faith found here:
http://www.crosshome.com/statement.shtml

2. crosshome cannot pay for the use of any writing used on crosshome. We wish it was otherwise, but our advertising does not pull in enough income to pay writers.

3. All writers will retain all rights to their writing. The copyright notice included with your writing will be in the form:
Copyright 2002, John Doe. All rights reserved. Used with permission.

4. crosshome does archive all writing for the benefit of our readers, but any submission can be deleted by request of the author by sending an e-mail to: webmaster@crosshome.com

5. We only accept devotionals from writers willing to submit a devotional every week. Devotionals must be submitted to us by Wednesday of each week. Exceptions may be made due to illness or vacation.

6. Devotionals must be appropriate for a general Christian audience. Denomination-specific devotionals will not be accepted.

7. Devotionals should stick to a specific point.

8. Any Bible quotations must be properly referenced (example: 1 Corinthians 5:17). We prefer the following translations: King James Version (KJV), New King James Version (NKJV), New International Version (NIV), and New American Standard Bible (NASB).

9. With your initial devotional submission, please e-mail us the following:
  • A sample devotional
  • A title for your weekly devotional column, if any
  • A 30-60 word bio including church affiliation
  • Any e-mail address or web page address you would like to be included in your bio
  • Statement declaring that you own the rights to the devotional and year of copyright

10. Devotionals should be between 300-1000 words, preferably 350-650.

11. When sending devotionals, Word attachments are fine, either in .doc or .rtf format.

12. We will contact you within 1-3 weeks if your writing is accepted.
