Submission Guidelines Themes

We're always looking for contemporary art and writing of excellence. Rhubarb is always looking for interesting and creative pieces from new and established writers, poets, artists, and photographers.

This independent magazine is designed to provide an outlet for the (loosely defined) Mennonite voice, reflecting the changing face of the Mennonite community, promoting dialogue and encouragining the Anabaptist tradition of reformation and protest.

 
 


Writing should be clear, stimulating and persuasive without being obviously didactic. Rhubarb publishes poetry of up to 30 lines, creative non-fiction and short fiction of up to 2,500 words and black and white art work including high contrast photographs that reproduce well in the magazine printing process.

Rhubarb also publishes humour, book reviews, commentary, issues analysis and articles related to the theme. Query first for submissions of non-fition as some of this work is solicited and/or assigned.

Contributions are welcome by surface mail or E-mail.
