Submissions

We’re thrilled that you’re interested in contributing your voice with a submission to Unfit Christian. We are a collective of who honor the idea that not everyone interprets or approaches Christianity the same. No one should feel forced into a box of what makes a “good” or “perfect” Christian. Submissions for Unfit Christian usually come from people who have never felt like they fit into the mold.

If you are:

  • A Person of Color: This isn’t a requirement but it’s certainly helpful in context of the audience reach for Unfit Christian.
  • Able to write basic grammar & syntax: Edits and feedback will be provided, but you’ve gotta give us something to work with!
  • Candid: This isn’t an opportunity to bash or project, but be open with one another.
  • Familiar with the topics discussed on the site: Generally speaking, we cover faith, relationships, identity (gender, race, class, sexual), and relevant pop culture

You do NOT have to be a Christian to provide submissions for Unfit Christian.

We know, shocking right? We appreciate well-rounded experiences of people of color. Although we identify as people of faith, we recognize the richness of the voices of people of color who do not.
