Submitting to SftP magazine

Article submissions can be submitted in a variety of formats: full length articles (~2500 words), short articles (1,000-2,000 words), SftP organizational reports, interviews, art pieces, and reviews (these are primarily what we receive, but we are open to other formats). Our editorial collectives work to produce print magazines, and there are open submissions at all times for the online only magazine. Both are directly overseen by the managing editor.

The print magazine is published three times a year with a thematic focus decided upon through a collaboration between by working groups or chapters of the organization and the publication and communications committee. Once the upcoming theme for an issue is selected and the previous issue starts to draw to a conclusion, an invitation to submit articles is shared with the entire organization and posted publicly in the call for proposals (link updated for every issue).

The online magazine is not thematic and can cover any topic that potential authors are interested in writing about. These submissions are sent directly to [e-mail]. Authors are expected to submit a detailed proposal outlining the concept, structure, and major points to be taken away from the article. These submissions are reviewed first by the managing editor of the magazine, who then recruits magazine editors with expertise, knowledge, or specific interest in the topic of the submission for further review before collectively deciding whether to accept or reject the submission.
