Writing for Oregon Humanities magazine

Oregon Humanities magazine is an award-winning triannual publication (spring, summer, and fall/winter). As a publication of ideas and perspectives, Oregon Humanities magazine offers a forum through which Oregon writers, scholars, and readers can use the humanities to explore timeless and timely ideas and themes.

We only accept submissions of nonfiction writing and artwork when we announce each issue’s theme. All personal essays and features focus on a particular issue’s theme. Field Work, Bright Idea, Q&A, and What I Think articles are not tied to theme but should be timely, focus on the humanities, and of interest to Oregonians. We distribute our call for submissions through media, literary, and academic organizations, as well as through our enewsletter mailing list. Please sign up for the Oregon Humanities enewsletter using the form in the column at the far left to guarantee that you receive calls for submissions for Oregon Humanities.
