Contributor Guidelines
Enhance is an international quarterly aimed at Christian women (and sometimes secretly men) who can’t get their regular magazine fix anywhere else. Enhance articles are more than your average magazine articles. Our readers expect the unexpected every time they open a new issue. The best ideas should be the kind that will make a reader go to their best friend and say, “You need to see this, it’s really inspirational/funny/gut-wrenching/creative/surprising.” And it needs to have the God element in it – that’s why our readers subscribe!
Our writers have their own individual voices, and we encourage them to be their unique selves. We’re looking for sharp-eyed perspectives and narratives, bursting with personal insight and wit. Our best writing is unflinchingly honest, moving and stylish but never too-cool-for-school. It should welcome the reader in rather than shut them out.
Photographers and illustrators are also expected to be a little out of leftfield, providing smart, quirky, cute pictures readers can linger over and love. One of the magazine’s greatest strengths is its individual design, and our best photographic contributors know what makes a picture an ‘Enhance pic’ and what doesn’t.
For all contributors, both finished work and pitches are welcome. If sending only a pitch, please include clippings and/or portfolio samples of previous work. Read as many back issues as you can to get an idea of style and the ground we cover. Note that we work between three and four months in advance of our on-sale dates, and hey, everyone likes a short cover letter.
