Write for Us!

Do you have a heart for people with disabilities?

Are you a person with a disability with a story to tell?

We would love to hear from you!

One of the goals of Disability Ministries of the Susquehanna Conference is to create a regular newsletter as well as to regularly update our blog with news and resources about the church and the disability community.

Articles should be between 500-1200 words in length. They should also employ person first language as much as possible. Disability Ministries reserves the right to edit articles before publication. All rights remain with the original author.

We also accept poetry, short stories, and creative nonfiction from writers with disabilities. We are especially interested in pieces that deal with a focus on disability theology or the intersection of faith and disability.
