Submission Guidelines

How to Submit Content

We now have an on-line submission system. All submissions must be in Microsoft Word format. Click this link to visit our submission site, create an account for yourself, and submit your manuscript.

General Editorial

Tikkun welcomes unsolicited nonfiction and poetry submissions. Given the number of articles we receive on a daily basis, we can take up to four months to respond to a manuscript. Click this link to visit our submission site, create an account for yourself, and submit your manuscript.

Feature Articles

We welcome articles on religion/spirituality, social change, politics and economics, ecology, culture and psychology, and Israel/Palestine. What we look for in such pieces are perspectives that interrogate the politics of their subject matter in ways which both advance the pursuit of tikkun olam - social justice and the repair of the world - and break down issues of contemporary concern in completely new and thoughtful ways. Every feature submitted to Tikkun must be between 800 and 2400 words in length. We do take longer articles occasionally if they are so tightly argued there is no fluff and no way to make their insightful points more briefly. We do not take articles that have appeared in print elsewhere in the U.S. or on the web (with the exception of some poetry, below). Click this link to visit our submission site, create an account for yourself, and submit your manuscript.

While we include well argued pieces from many perspectives, including those arguing against our ideas, we are particularly seeking writers who can apply a spiritual progressive worldview to their topic—whether that’s recent movies, the West Bank, global warming, or gay rights. Read our Core Vision for pointers. Our Rethinking Religion section welcomes theological and social investigation into love’s prophetic challenge to all religions. Our Politics and Society section needs writers who believe that the great powers of this world, especially governments and corporations, can be moved towards their true function: the service of and caring for humanity and the biosphere as a whole.     

Art Submissions

Reviews: Books, Film and Music

Book, film and music features must be no longer than 2400 words in length. A review of 500 or 800 words is more likely to be fitted in than a longer one—unless the longer one is so good we can’t pass it up. We would prefer reviewers cover works that are less than a year old (or are about to be published) and have not already received substantial media attention. We welcome reviews of books on all the topics mentioned above. We are seeking a regular movie reviewer with smart spiritual insights: not New Agey, but progressive, Tikkunish.

Poetry

Click this link to visit our submission site, create an account for yourself, and submit your poetry for possible inclusion in the print magazine. We are also interested in poetry that would work on our www.spiritualprogressives.org site: send possible poems to rabbilerner@tikkun.org.

Print and the Web

Each print edition of Tikkun is published in its entirety in our online archive two months after its print publication date. These archives are available by web archive subscription only.  Tikkun also publishes website exclusives which do not appear in the print edition of the magazine. Our editorial staff chooses medium placement for each article accepted by the magazine at its own discretion. With a readership of over 70,000 per month, articles published on the Tikkun website are widely read around the world.
