Thank you for your interest in contributing to Follow the Light! We’re always honoured to receive heartfelt stories, reflections, and wisdom from writers and creators who feel called to share their voice.
We are currently accepting submissions for upcoming issues. When you're ready, you can send your piece as a Word document or Google doc to followthelightmagazine@gmail.com.
Here are a few gentle guidelines to help you prepare:
Aim for a word count between 750–1500 words, but if your story needs more space to breathe (especially for interviews or features), feel free to go beyond.
Please proofread to ensure clarity and flow.
If you have any photos that accompany the piece, feel free to include them — they truly bring the stories to life. (Captions are welcome, too.)
Don’t forget to include a headshot and short bio so our readers can get to know the heart behind your words (optional).
Each issue tends to have a loose seasonal theme, though it’s never required because we trust the right messages will arrive at just the right time. If it’s helpful, here’s a glimpse at the next two issues:
Autumn Issue: Letting go, trusting, and believing.
Winter Issue: Going within to explore, plant seeds, rest, and simply be.
The submission deadline for the upcoming issue is August 15, and the Winter issue deadline is November 14.
If you have any questions or would like to chat through an idea, please don’t hesitate to reach out. We can’t wait to see what flows through you.
