Now Accepting Graphic Narratives, Images, and Interviews!
Issue 5.1 has shipped, and the submission period for issue 5.2 opened May 1. New work is already flowing in, meaning our editors are starting to think about all the work they have to do again.
This issue we’re excited to try out some new content, so we’re announcing here that Relief will now accept graphic narratives and images for consideration. This is an experiment, so we won’t run anything if we don’t find work that meets our standards, but we’re optimistic that through this site and word-of-mouth (that means you) we can find some great stuff.
This will make Relief, as far as we know, the only place you’ll be able to find graphic narrative of a Christian/spiritual bent. There are others doing images, but we think there are plenty more great artists out there whose work needs a home.
We will also be accepting queries for author interviews. Guidelines for this new content can be found on our Submissions page.
I am writing my memoir. I am a lover of Jesus with an incredible story that I write bleeding on my pages.
Is submitting a chapter of that acceptable?
Elizabeth Ann Grace is my pen name so as to protect my ex from having his identity exposed in my book.
Thank you so much!

Elizabeth, and other memoirists out there: We can take book chapters if they can stand alone. Our CNF tends to only be memoirish in the sense that it relates stories that actually happened to the authors, but they tend to look more like “personal essays” or the love-children of fiction and essay.
