What sets your publication apart from others that publish similar material?

Spirit of Change prints only quality holistic health information. We do not print advertorials or promotional pieces.

What is the best advice you can give people who are considering submitting work to your publication?

Send your completed article, interview or cover art submission to [email protected].

Describe the ideal submission.

The ideal submission is between 500-5000 words on a topic of holistic health interest, that is well-written and researched.

What do submitters most often get wrong about your submissions process?

They ask what topics I am looking for. I am always looking for new holistic health information to share with my readers.

How much do you want to know about the person submitting to you?

No, I do not need a cover letter or previous credits. All that matters is the present submission.

If you publish writing, how much of a piece do you read before making the decision to reject it?

I can usually tell from the first page whether the piece is right for me.

What additional evaluations, if any, does a piece go through before it is accepted?

Thorough grammar and spell check, plus editing if needed.

What is a day in the life of an editor like for you?

I personally read all submissions and decide yea or nay, and then edit the yeas as I am reading them, if needed. I will never add words to a piece; just delete what doesn't belong. If words need to be added, I will ask the writer for clarification or addition.

How much do you edit an accepted piece prior to publication?

If a piece requires too much editing, I will not accept it. I only accept well-written articles on interesting topics. If edits are needed, I will delete what does not belong in the piece and ask the writer for clarifications/additions. Authors must approve all final edits.

Do you nominate work you've published for any national or international awards?

No
