If you are interested in submitting and interview to Dappled Things, we encourage you to first pitch your idea by emailing dappledthings.aparicio [at] gmail [dot] com to see if we are interested. Please note that your interview should not only include questions and answers, but also an introduction of around three paragraphs that introduces readers to your interview subject and the topic you will discuss (we encourage you to read interviews in our archives for reference). All interviews published in Dappled Things receive a payment of $100. 

All text submissions should use 12-point Times New Roman font. Writers should only use one space after periods and other forms of punctuation.

We are not interested in work that uses an overly academic tone. Avoid jargon and send us work that will be of interest to the well-informed non-specialist. Instead of including a list of works cited, include any citations in journalistic style, as a part of the piece itself. We are open to a wide range of topics and  approaches; take a look through past editions of the journal to see what sort of nonfiction we publish. You may use this category for submitting essays, memoirs, interviews, and other nonfiction articles, but please submit book reviews through the category specifically designated for them. Note that neither interviews nor book reviews are eligible for the Jacques Maritain Prize.

Please send only one non-fiction piece at a time and wait for a response before making a new submission.

Please include a byline in your cover letter that we can use in our contributor notes if your piece is selected for publication.
