The Peace Chronicle aims to engage diverse populations including academics, activists, community leaders, and religious leaders. We welcome submissions dealing with peace and justice issues in the classroom, on the ground, in research, arts, and culture. We do not publish academic papers, but we are excited about pieces that highlight rigorous, methodological, evidence-based research that relies on critical analysis. We are interested in national, international, and global issues related to the seasonal theme.
General Article Submission Information
We’re looking for pieces written in journalistic style, that will interest a broad range of readers and give them ideas and inspiration they can use. Submissions may be emailed to pjsapeacechronicle@gmail.com as Microsoft Word files, and will be reviewed by the editor. We accept poetry and personal essays, as well as visual artworks.
The Peace Chronicle is an opportunity for PJSA folks to publish and collaborate. Therefore, we are also excited to publish non-traditional forms such as programs and projects, or other commentaries on peace and justice work, our world, or our struggles. This form of association-wide publishing makes for a more dynamic, diverse and engaging magazine that reflects the PJSA network.
Unfortunately, at this time we cannot pay our authors, artists, or photographers, but we will publish a contributor bio and link to your website.
Please include in your submission:
- Your written piece, as a Word document (not a PDF)
- Any image(s) you wish to accompany your piece (see below for details)
- A 100-150 word mini-bio
- Your headshot, sized to 150 x 150px
