We consider poetry, prose, and visual art submissions that explore questions of ecology and spirituality from within and outside all religious traditions. We are delighted by thoughtful art, compelling stories, and bewitching poems that reflect our values of curiosity, justice, and community. We consider all submissions for publication on our website and/or in our quarterly print issues.

EcoTheo Review appreciates the trust involved in our relationships with authors and readers. We know how difficult it can be to share work, especially of a sensitive nature. If the work you are sending us depicts traumatic events, whether personal or historical in nature, we invite you to consider including a Content Warning for our editors. Should we choose to publish such work, we want to demonstrate care for our readers as well, and our Publication Contract will include an opportunity for you to offer a Content Warning. These will be included when we publish the work online and/or in print, as well as when we share the work through our social media accounts. We are grateful for the opportunity to consider your work.

Work that has been created, in any part, with the assistance of AI tools is not eligible for submission or publication. 

Please allow at least three months for us to review your submission. Our editors arevolunteers with other work, family, and creative commitments. We appreciate your patience as we give all submissions the consideration they deserve. We do not accept previously published work, but we do accept simultaneous submissions. Please notify us promptly if your work is accepted elsewhere.

We will consider work for our Winter 2024 issue when the submission window opens again on October 15 and closes on October 31.

The theme of our Winter 2024 issue is WHOLENESS. 

EcoTheo Review invites writing and visual art submissions that respond to the theme of Wholeness at the intersection of ecology, spirituality, and culture. Ecologically, wholeness is complex and profound; ecological systems are inherently interdependent, self-regulated, and greater than the sum of its parts. Organisms play a role in maintaining the balance of the overall ecosystem, adapting to change, oscillating between stasis and instability, and demonstrating wholeness in action. Spiritually, wholeness is appreciated by acknowledging the interconnectedness of all things and the presence of the divine. How can we explore our own place and purpose, our harmony and dissonance, our balance and instability, through the unity of creation and want for completeness, especially on the heels of change and cycles of seasons, ecological and spiritual,  political and personal?
