Submissions can be emailed to
Email: lilitu.shop @ gmail.com
or by post
to The
Crossroads,
PO Box 1200 Belconnen ACT 2616.
For contributors who are
sending written work, we accept MS Word
and Publisher (2003) files. It is not necessary, but helpful, if you can
use 10pt Times New Roman. We also strongly encourage authors to include
images to illustrate the subject-matter wherever appropriate; GIF or
JPEG files are best (in terms of emailing them). The Crossroads
is a black and white publication. We will accept coloured pictures, but
be aware that they are printed in greyscale, which can affect the
clarity in some cases. If you are submitting original artwork it should
be created with our black and white format in mind. Please do not send
original artworks, send a digital print or scan.
The Crossroad’s
principal focus is on publishing articles that are more in-depth and
more rigorously researched than you may otherwise find in the popular
pagan/witchcraft magazines. This is why we call ourselves a journal, not
a magazine. I'm sure you know that paganism means many different things
to many different people, so the range of subjects that we will consider
is very broad, but it does need to have an overall theme that the
editing team will recognise as being 'pagan'. We are very enthusiastic
about articles that present new ideas or fresh perspectives on old ones.
We
expect the articles that are submitted to us to be well researched and
written, and we do require authors to provide footnotes and references,
as required. An author's personal point of view and personal experience
is very important, but we also expect to see that the author has
researched the subject matter and/or other perspectives (whether through
reading, conducting interviews, etc) in formulating their own case.
Obviously, it is not acceptable to pass another person's work off as
your own, and any other person's material that you do use in support of
your own must be appropriately referenced. If you need someone's
permission to use material, please ensure this is done before submitting
your article to us and include the details of the permission that has
been given.
We
also accept and welcome reviews of books, events, and music, and
submissions of original artwork and poetry.
The
Editing Team reserves the right to edit all articles that are submitted
to The Crossroads.
This is not done to change the meaning of the article, but to reduce the
length and to improve the clarity, if either is required.
