Submissions

Thanks for your interest in contributing an article to Story Warren. We love making new allies.

We’re looking for submissions along these lines:

  • Our Fostering Imagination category needs articles about strengthening, informing, and redeeming young imaginations
  • We love articles that pull back the curtain on everyday life to show where imagination leads to, or plays its part in, healthy Christian faith and family, or cultural life.
  • We generally prefer short posts to long ones. Ideal: above 700 words, less than 1,000 words. 
  • We welcome reviews of books, plays, music, or movies that nourish our imaginations and help us look for God’s Kingdom Come, both in the Big Story and in the many ways he works among us every day.
  • If you’re including a quote from scripture, we prefer the ESV, CSB, or NIV (though in certain circumstances, other translations may be welcomed).
  • We occasionally publish original poetry and short stories: very short, and for children.
  • Illustrators are always welcome – let us know if you’re available, and we’ll try to match you with a written submission.
  • By submitting an article, you agree to our AI use policy.

Editorial Philosophy

Story Warren exists to serve parents as they foster holy imagination in the children they love.

S. D. Smith, founder

Because imagination is not neutral, and will serve any master, We affirm the historic Christian creeds and the essential stream of Christian orthodoxy, and believe that there are plenty of other places on the internet for argument and controversy. We’re looking for articles that focus on construction.
