— Editors Wesley Wildman, Melody Stanford Martin, & Dave Rohr, on behalf of the Wildhouse Publications team
- Original creations – All ritual submissions must be original and must not be plagiarized or be replications of another author’s work. Rituals can be adapted from material in the public domain. Any quoted material must be properly attributed. The editors reserve the right to omit attributed material if contributors cannot secure the proper permissions to print.
- Multiple submissions allowed – Contributors may submit multiple entries, but each entry must have its own form submission. Please do not use the form to submit multiple entries at once.
- Publishing not guaranteed – We are thrilled to have many contributions to this series, however we cannot guarantee that all submissions will be published.
- Interactive components are highly encouraged 🙂 Please consider including descriptions of physical materials, body movements, and sensory textures to help participants ground their experience.
- Editing for inclusivity – The editorial team may choose to make alterations to submissions make them more accessible to people from many paths of life (e.g. substituting a symbol for divine references, changing divine pronouns, changing references to tradition-specific clergy.)
- Perks for contributors – While we are not able to offer monetary compensation or royalties for submissions, each contributor will receive a free copy of the volume in which their contribution is printed and a great big shoutout on our website, social media, and promotional campaigns.
If you have any questions about submission, please feel free to reach out to Melody Stanford Martin, mmartin@wildhousepublishing.com.
