Submitting an article to Worship

Thank you for considering a submission to Worship. In order to aid in the review and editing process, please adhere to the following guidelines:

• Manuscript must be in Word with your name and email on the first page
• Include an abstract and a 2- to 3-sentence bio when you submit your article. The editor removes all these identifiers when the manuscript is sent for the double-blind review.
• Articles should be no more that 6800-7000 words in length, including footnotes (Select “include footnotes” when using the Word Count feature in Word)
• Be sure to use the "insert footnote" function to enter footnotes. Use footnotes rather than endnotes.
• Follow the Liturgical Press Style Guide.
• Add page numbers to your manuscript.
• If you are using Greek or Hebrew in your manuscript, please include a PDF version in case those fonts do not display properly in Word.

The Review Process:

Once the editor receives the review comments, she sends them back to the author indicating the status of the article. If revisions are required, the editor will indicate these, ask the author if they wish to do the necessary revisions, and ask for a timeline by which the revisions will be submitted.

After the final version of the article has been submitted, the line editing process begins. The editor will return the edited version of the article to the author for review, and for the author to respond to any questions the editor may have. Except in the case of articles commissioned for a particular occasion, the editor cannot guarantee a publication date for any article.

Please send your submissions and any questions about the process to:
