Writing for Momentum
Submissions
Momentum welcomes submissions, as well as inquiries regarding placement of specific articles. In general, feature articles on topics of interest to Catholic educators are reviewed within one month and accepted, accepted tentatively, or rejected. The review process is longer for research pieces; authors should expect a wait of several months in the case of educational research articles. Momentum will contact all authors in a timely way regarding the status of their submissions.
Manuscripts submitted for consideration should follow these general guidelines:
- Original, unpublished works (No simultanaeous submissions)
- Feature articles: 1,500 words
- Research articles: 3,500-5,000 words
- Columns, "From the Field," and opinion pieces or essays: 700-1,000 words
- Book, video or other reviews: 500-750 words
Note: Word limits are general guidelines; please call or e-mail the editor with questions regarding specific articles for clarification on length.
