ThePurpleSky.com will accept, at editor’s discretion, highly opinionated articles of at least 500 words about topics that readers/thinkers/writers are passionate about. We’d like writers to be concise and clear about certain issues in addition to sparking debate and posing questions to readers to see how they would respond.

An ideal article may take this form below but is acceptable in any readable, understandable variation.

Points to include:

1. The Issue: First sentence should get straight to the point.

2. Background: A brief summary about what happened, a particular issue or why you feel a certain way.

3. The Problem: What bothers you about this situation or topic.

4. The Purple Sky Perspective: Engage the reader by challenging them to respond. Be sure to express a Christian perspective on the issue. Include your individual voice & flavor!

All articles will include your byline, as well as an optional bio if provided. Your bio can include a photo as well as links out to your site or contact information.

Submissions must be the original works of the author. Works are posted for an indefinite period of time as determined by The Purple Sky. All works submitted are wholly owned by the author and as such, authors may request to have their submitted works removed at any time. Due to the number of submissions we receive, we cannot always provide explanations as to why submissions were not chosen to be published. At this time all submissions are unpaid.
