Writer's Guidelines
TEACHERS OF VISION,
is a magazine for Christian educators in public and private education.
Its articles inspire, inform and equip teachers and administrators
in the educational arena. In the words of Forrest Turpen, chief
operating officer of CEAI, "It is an extended faculty room,
a place of refreshment, dialogue, encouragement and guidance."
The guidance often deals with the legality of living out one’s
faith in the workplace.

Our Editorial Needs
We invite writers to submit the following types
of manuscripts:
Feature articles between 1000 - 2500 words, dealing
with specific issues of interest to Christian educators. These may
be written as how-to articles, personal experience pieces, educational
philosophy, methodology, or documented reports.
Mini-features between 400-750 words that: highlight
a holiday or special event and its classroom relevance; describe
a successful teaching technique; or update readers on newsworthy
happenings in education; or share an inspirational personal experience.
When you submit manuscripts, remember:
Include your e-mail address, telephone number and permanent address.
Include a 2-3 sentence byline with your
article (we may also request a color photo if your work is accepted
for publication).
Due to limited staff, it may take several
weeks to respond to your submission. You are welcome to inquire
about the status of your manuscript after four weeks.
We cannot guarantee your article will
be accepted.
We reserve the right to edit material
for length and content.
We maintain the right to reprint your
article in other CEAI publications and CEAI's website.
We accept previously published articles,
provided you inform us of where the article appeared and verify
ownership of reprint rights.
You are welcome to query us with article
ideas to avoid submitting material we cannot use (send a brief
description of the article, detailing its main points).
Seasonal material must be received at
least four months in advance.
If you wish to have your manuscript returned,
you must enclose a self- addressed, first-class stamped envelope.
If your article is accepted for submission,
it may be several issues before final publication. We do appreciate
your patience.

Keep in mind that our articles need a distinctively
Christian viewpoint. However, please avoid even the appearance of
preaching and cut all religious jargon! We need writers who are
able to present topics naturally and who portray issues of faith
as an integrated part of teaching.
