Content
Our content is sorted into three areas: News, Opinion, and Features.
News items report and/or comment on current events both national and international from a Reformed Christian perspective. News stories or article pitches should be sent to angela@christiancourier.ca.
Opinion pieces consist of editorials and letters. Letters may be sent to bert@christiancourier.ca.
Features may be any of a number of things, including but not limited to reporting on an event, excerpt from other works, meditation, interview, travelogue, arts & culture, essay, social analysis, religion, review, creative writing, biography, memoir, or history. Features content may be sent to brett@christiancourier.ca.
Content need not be overtly of a Christian nature but should reflect the Reformed Christian principles of God’s sovereignty and our mandate to interact with and reform culture. Likewise, writers need not be a member of the Reformed community but should have something to say to that community.
We look for writing that can appeal to a wide audience of all ages and ethnicities, although this may include pieces intended for a more specific demographic.

Style
Writing should be at about a Grade 10 reading level and in a loosely formal style fit for print. Titles and subtitles are subject to editorial change.
When writing for Christian Courier, please keep in mind the following points.
-Use a single space between sentences.
-Do not indent the beginnings of paragraphs.
-Use double quotation marks (" ") instead of single (‘ ‘) except in the case of quotation marks within a quote, in which case the outer marks should be double and the inner ones single.
-We do not use the oxford comma when listing. (ex. please type "head, hands and heart" instead of "head, hands, and heart")
- When employing a dash, please use an em-dash, or "double dash" (--, –) instead of a hyphen, or "single dash" ( - ).
-We do not capitalize pronouns referring to God.
-Shoot for a length of 750-1000 words.

Submission
Christian Courier is a discerning publication, and not all submissions will be printed. Please do not be discouraged if your submission is not published. We look for a variety and balance of theme, tone and topic. Your piece simply may not have fit with our current batch of on-hand work. We will endeavour to respond in a timely manner, however we may wish to hold on to your work for a future issue instead of printing it right away.
Please submit articles by email or, if necessary, CD-ROM. You may also wish to submit a pitch for consideration before beginning work on an article.
If possible, please submit photos for your work, which may or may not be used for publication.
Include a one- or two-sentence bio of yourself and a photo (head and shoulders). We also like to include writers’ email addresses so that readers may engage you regarding their thoughts or if they wish to solicited further material or reprint your article. Writers retain rights for their work.
We will pay by cheque.  Please include an address where we may reach you by mail for payment.
