Guidelines for Submitting Articles

The Body Temple Institute welcomes all articles on health and healing from a wholistic perspective. Following are our publication guidelines:

Articles must be submitted as a text document either as an email attachment or on a Windows-formatted floppy disk. Documents can be emailed to the editor at publications@bodytempleinstitute.com or sent through postal mail to: The Body Temple Institute, P. O. Box 5344, Oakland, CA 94605. (Please scan your documents and disks for viruses!) Photos and accompanying artwork must be simple, quick-loading images in either .jpg or .gif format only.

All submissions must include author's name and contact information (email address, mailing address, and phone number).

Our criteria for accepting work for publication are:

Quality of the writing. We are eager to work with both previously published and new writers.

Philosophical fit. We are primarily looking for articles that promote wholism in health and healing, but the article can deal with any aspect of this field.

Length of article. Articles should be approximately 2,000 words in length, give or take 500 words. If we really like your article, but it's way too long, we may ask you to re-submit an edited version.

All submissions will be reviewed by our editorial staff. We reserve the right to edit your article for grammar, punctuation, spelling, or to shorten the length to accommodate our needs. You will be informed if your article has been selected approximately one week prior to publication on our web site.

Payment for your contribution is limited to bragging rights that your work is suitable enough to be published on our web site. The Body Temple Institute does not offer any monetary payment to writers at this time. Please keep in mind that The Body Temple Institute is an international publication, is listed on dozens of search engines, and has hundreds of readers. If selected, your work will be featured for one week on The Body Temple Institute web site. After that, it will be permanently available through our archives. Visitors will be able to view your work as a back-issue article, and writers can use The Body Temple Institute as a reference and an electronic "clip" when submitting to other venues.

You are free to simultaneously publish your work on any other electronic media or print magazine.

If you have any questions about The Body Temple Institute's publishing guidelines, please contact us by email at publications@bodytempleinstitute.com or by phone at (510) 798-3180.

Quote of the Week:

"Though there are many paths
At the foot of the mountain
All those who reach the top
See the same moon. "
