The purpose of Contact magazine is to support thriving ministries by providing timely, practical information for ministries and individuals. All articles submitted should fulfill this purpose. Contact magazine is published quarterly electronically in March, June, September and December. Its target audience is Unity ministers, church board members, licensed Unity teachers and lay people.
Article Submission Guidelines
Length: approximately 400-450 words for one-page articles plus relevant color photos or 800-900 words for two-page feature articles plus relevant color photos.
Format: Place text in a MS Word document. Do not insert photos in the Word document. They must be sent as separate files (see Visuals guidelines below). Page numbers must be on each page. Include JPEG photos on a separate CD or mail a hard copy of the photos (see Visuals guidelines below). Keep at least one copy of your manuscript and photos for your files; we do not return manuscripts or photos. A two-line biography of the author is requested. Please include the author's name, title (if applicable), organization (or church) and e-mail address.
Visuals: We prefer photos of people and activities. Photos should be in color and of good quality (in focus, with subjects well-lit and not too far from the camera). Set your digital camera on the highest quality setting when taking photos. If sending electronically, photos should be in a JPEG format, no smaller than 1200 x 1800 pixels (4" x 6" at 300 dpi). You may also mail good quality 4" x 6" or larger photos (developed from negatives, not printed on a printer). Photos must be accompanied by release forms. See Photo Release.
