Editorial Submission Guidelines
Printer view

For Preaching Skills Articles:
We are looking for articles of 250 to 500 words. Depending on the type of article, the length may vary; please use previously published material as a guide, or contact our editorial team.

Click here to submit an article.

For Illustrations:
Be sure to cite any sources, including date, publication, author, pages. If found on the web, provide the author, the site, and date on which you found the material. When considering whether to send an illustration, bear in mind we value illustrations that are fresh, on topics of frequent use, highly credible, and specific in detail. We want grade A illustrations. We use illustrations from both Christian and "secular" sources. We use personal, unpublished illustrations ("The other day as I drove to work...") only if they are A++. We pay $30 for any illustration, $15 for any quotation that we publish in the Preaching Connection Newsletter, and $75 for movie-based illustrations; please e-mail us for guidelines on writing these.

With movie-based illustrations, our policy is not to use a scene that contains profanity as an illustration because we want preachers to be able to show the clip during the message if they choose. We can use a scene that does not have profanity even though the remainder of the movie does have some profanity. If there is profanity immediately before or after a selected clip, please let us know so that we can include a warning.

Please review our Frequently Asked Questions file for guidelines about copyright law and "fair use."

For Sermons:
If you have a top-notch sermon that you feel we may be interested in, please send an audio recording of the sermon to:
Preaching Today
Attention: Brian Larson
465 Gundersen Drive
Carol Stream, IL 60188

If you do not have an audio recording of the sermon and only have a transcript you may submit it here.

For Other Content:
If you have something that you think we may be interested in including on PreachingToday.com, please feel free to submit it here.

Please Note:
Submission does not guarantee acceptance of your article, illustration, sermon or quote. Our editorial guidelines limit the number of items we can accept for any single issue.

We will attempt to respond quickly to your submission, regardless of our interest in using it. However, since e-mail is unpredictable, if you don't hear from us within a month please contact the editorial staff (use the "Contact Us" link at the bottom of every page). If we do intend to use your submission, we will contact you via e-mail as soon as possible.
