Published by The Genesis Center


The Genesis Center is pleased to offer authors the option to publish their original works on The Genesis Center!

Publishing on The Genesis Center allows users to download and use your work in their own churches and homes. The Genesis Center does not offer any compensation for published works during this time. When we publish an original work on The Genesis Center, we will feature it on appropriate website pages, make a physical copy available to check out from our Online Resource Library, add the Genesis watermark to all copies to prevent unlawful distribution, and possibly showcase your work in our newsletters or as a featured resource!

Anyone is welcome to submit a work to The Genesis Center during open submission periods, but we also have themed submission periods throughout the year. Please refer to the submission guideline's below for more information and to check if we are currently accepting open submissions at this time.



General Submission Guidelines

During Open Submissions, The Genesis Center accepts submissions of all Reformed and spiritual works including: devotions, Bible studies, curriculum, blogs, poetry, prayer, crafts, and fiction/non-fiction short stories. If you are unsure if your work fits these guidelines, please email us!

We are specifically looking for creative works that inspire and connect people on their personal faith journeys. We also value works that promote acceptance, caring, and love for our neighbors and ourselves.


*We only accept electronic submissions via email during this time*

When submitting your work please follow these guidelines:
  • Your work must be original, and unpublished by any major for-profit company or magazine. Work previously published on a personal blog is allowed.
  • You must be the author of the work and cannot submit a piece for someone else. If there are multiple authors, all authors must be listed with their contact information.
  • Short stories should not exceed 5000 words. Poetry and prayers should not exceed 75 lines.
  • Submit your piece via email as a Microsoft Word document. Please double space your piece and use only font size 12 in Times New Roman, Arial, or Courier, unless font choice is critical to the artistic integrity of the piece (such as a craft). If your work is a craft, PNG pictures and PDF files are allowed.
  • Please number your pages and make sure all authors are credited on the first page of your work.
  • Please include contact information in your email for all authors including: name, email, presbytery affiliation, church affiliation, and phone number.

Email submissions to: Sherri Adler, Director of the Genesis Center resources@monmouthpresbytery.com

Submissions may take up to six weeks to process. Please do not contact us on the status of your submission until after six weeks.

The Genesis Center Creative Team will review all submission and have the final decisions regarding all submitted work. Work may be rejected at any time, without any reason given. In addition, The Genesis Center Creative may suggest some edits to your piece and offer publishing if those edits are made. We will always try to work with the authors to keep the integrity and theme of their piece, but retain final say over what copy will be published.

Open Submission Status: OPEN

The Genesis Center will be accepting works of any theme during the following Open Submission period. Please allow for up to six weeks for a response on your work. Thank you.
