Photography
Writer's Challenge
We're seeking B&W photos for one of our writer's challenge features.  Photos should evoke readers to want to write a story or poem about them.  Ones which are mysterious, cause wonder, or beg questions are best.


Glory to God for the Beauty of Nature
We're looking for serious, well taken color nature photos for this feature. Please do not submit photos that are washed out by light. One of the secrets to good nature photography is to shoot just before sunrise or just after sunset because the sun's rays are not direct and overpowering. As a result, the colors and tones in the natural world become beautiful and enhanced.

Photographers retain full rights for published work. Aletheia Writing Magazine reserves the right to enhance photos via photo software to best meet the needs of our feature. Be sure to check out the FAQ section for more information.

Please let us know what feature you are submitting for.



Book Reviews
We're looking for fiction Book Reviews, up to 600 words maximum. All types of fiction genres will be considered. The author of the book does not specifically have to be a Christian, though they certainly may be, but the book must be conducive to a Christian worldview in some way and nurture faith and life.
