Submissions

Muftah welcomes well-written, well-researched articles that adhere to our mission. Interested writers should review the information below.

We are open to a variety of submission types, including:

  • Essays that provide in-depth analysis or narratives on issues relevant to our mission, ranging from 2000 – 3000 words

  • Opinion pieces addressing current issues, ranging from 800 – 1500 words

  • Critical reviews of recent books and films, ranging from 1000 – 2000 words

  • Interviews with persons of interest, the length of which may vary

  • Photo essays that tell a story visually accompanied by a brief descriptive text

To submit your work, send us a complete draft at contact@muftah.org and include the word “submission” in the subject line. In the body of your email, briefly introduce yourself and summarize your piece in roughly 100 words. We do not accept previously published work.

Please send us a Word document (.doc or .docx) as other formats will not be considered. Use 12 pt, Times New Roman (or similar) font. Keep everything single spaced, but separate your paragraphs (no indentations). All sources must be embedded as hyperlinks; use Chicago-style endnotes as a last resort. With your submission, include a brief bio of roughly 100 words.

Our editorial team carefully reviews all submissions. Given our commitment to quality over quantity, we accept submissions sparingly. You can expect a response within one week. Accepted pieces will enter a detailed and collaborative editing process. We encourage writers from diverse backgrounds to submit their work.
