SUBMISSION GUIDELINES:

The EASTERN SHORE EPISCOPALIAN (ESE) is the quarterly news magazine of the Diocese of Easton.  It includes feature articles, columns from the bishop, stories about ministries and parishes, and information about upcoming diocesan events.

DEADLINES:  The deadline for the ESE is the 20^th of the month preceding release.  January *20^th, May 20^th, August 20^th, and November 20^th.   *Deadline may vary for pre-convention issue.

DISTRIBUTION:  We try to publish and distribute the Eastern Shore Episcopalian on a quarterly basis.  The magazine is created in Adobe InDesign, saved as a PDF, and published online via a service called Yumpu.  Once the issue is completed, a link is posted to our website and the same link is emailed to our Enews distribution list. We also mail hard copies to churches who requested them according to a list linked here.

Based on the ebb and flow of the busy seasons we try to adhere to the following schedule:
February:  Pre-Convention Edition
June: Summer Edition
September: Fall Edition
December:  Abbreviated Christmas Edition

SUBMISSION GROUPS:  Articles fall into one of three categories. At least five Churches and/or Ministry Groups are featured in each ESE. Also included are articles related to Diocesan-wide programs. And guest articles may also be submitted for consideration – read below of details.

Diocesan-Wide Programs include events sponsored by the Diocese such as the annual convention, the youth summit, or the clergy retreat (to name a few).  These are considered separate from the Church and Ministry Group submissions.

Churches and Ministry Groups in the Diocese are invited to sign up to submit an article approximately every two years.  They may select their date/time based on the given themes or other criteria they prefer. Occasionally a group will be invited to do a special feature. Click here to view the submission schedule and read more about how to get your church/ministry group on the list.

Guest Articles may be submitted for consideration but are included only if the following criteria are met:
1. The article is 300-600 words and includes 1-6 photos.
2. There is room for the article in an upcoming magazine.
3. The article is NOT an event synopsis or advertisement.
4. The Bishop approves the content and inclusion of the article.
