Blog
- We want blog entries that provoke deep thought, talking about important modern issues and ideas.
- Feel free to address current events or controversy, but remember that Relief is not interested in partisanship as much as we are passionate about problem-solving together in community. Don't shy away from telling the truth.
- Keep the tone approachable and informal.
- Provide hyperlinks for any external sources used.
- Length: 500-750 words
Reviews
- We want our reviews to provide our readers with a snapshot of the book. Help them decide if they want to read this particular book or not. Your review should answer some, but not necessarily all, of the following questions: What makes it well written and worth their time? Why do you care about it enough to write a review? What questions did it leave you pondering after you finished reading?
- Keep the tone informative but friendly. This isn’t an academic essay.
- Including a few specific examples from the book/collection you’re reviewing is always helpful to our readers. Please keep the quotations brief.
- Do not site external sources or include a works cited.
- Length: 500-750 words
- Please format your review title as simply as possible.
- In general, the post will be called "Title, Author," but we can add a subtitle if necessary.
- Keep in mind the aesthetic values of Relief. We aren’t interested in simplistic “inspirational” writing. Instead, we value writing that broadens our perspective and speaks honestly about the beautiful, complex pursuit of faith and art.
- Feel free to submit reviews for media other than books.
