Subject Matter: Articles and proprosals for articles should be related to one of the subjects in the list that follows (see List). This is a tentative list of magazine topics coming up. It is not final, and we have made no decisions about the order in which these topics will be covered. Note that some of the list topics reflect past magazines — we will always be open to publishing new articles as updates to previous magazines. The list is in alphabetical order.

Article Proposals: Proposals should explain the "hook" of your article, with an outline of the article you propose to write. Photographs or other graphics will be considered a plus. Please discuss your sources, and your qualifications with regard to the subject matter.

Writing Samples: If you have not published in the Spirit of Ma'at before, your proposal also should be accompanied by copies of at least three published articles that you have written.

Pre-written Articles: Feel free to submit a pre-written article on any listed subject.

Formats: We will accept submissions in text (txt) or rich text (rtf) formats. If your article is in Microsoft Word, go back and SAVE AS rich-text format (rtf) and send that to us, not the Word format (".doc") document. The reason for this is that higher-level word processor documents are extremely vulnerable for carrying viruses.

Payment: At the present time, only staff writers -- those who receive assignments from the magazine -- are receiving payment for writing. Other contributors receive complimentary subscriptions to the magazine. This may change, and all payment is by prior arrangement.
