Write for ATA

The sole reason for Art/s and Theology Australia (ATA) is to encourage conversations between theology and the arts. We welcome contributions from practitioners, creatives, scholars, curators, and others with an interest in the creative arts, and that serve such conversations. These may include short essays, reviews, music, photos, and critical reflections.

NB. We are not accepting poetry at the moment.

To submit a piece to ATA, please follow these following steps:

  1. Familiarise yourself with the website to get a sense of what the network is about and whether your proposed contribution will ‘fit’.
  2. Write contributions in a way that invites rather than shuts down conversation.
  3. Articles and reviews should be between 500–2,000 words.
  4. Please use language accessible to a wide audience, and keep footnotes to a minimum. If technical terminology is necessary, please briefly explain the relevant terms.
  5. The Editorial Team reserves the right to make small editorial changes to your work. We will not make any major changes without your permission.
  6. You retain copyright to your contribution. We would ask, however, that any republished pieces include a line indicating that the article was first published on Art/s and Theology Australia.
  7. You are encouraged to include images and/or video with your article. If images belong to someone else, you are responsible for either securing written permission from the owner or justifying the ‘fair use’ of the image, such as when it falls under a Creative Commons License.
  8. Articles should include a short, 2–3 sentence bio. Those written in Australia should include an acknowledgement of the Country upon which you work.
  9. Names and email addresses provided will be used exclusively for the stated purposes of Art/s and Theology Australia and will not be made available for any other purpose or to any third party.
  10. Unfortunately, we cannot provide any remuneration for articles.
  11. If your piece is published on the website, we expect you to engage (in a timely fashion) with any ensuing comments.
