Guest Column

In the past, The Chimes featured letters to the editor in its print publication. Now, as a digital platform, those interested in contributing can submit a guest column. Open to all writers, but highly encouraged for current students, alumni and community members of Biola University or those directly affiliated.

Guidelines: 

  1. Columns can range from 200 to 1,000 words and may include responses to articles, personal essays, reflections on current issues, explorations of timeless themes, or cultural critiques.
  2. Guest columns that unfairly attack another person or institution will not be published (note: reasoned criticism does not equate with ad hominem attack)
  3. Guest columns that contain factual inaccuracy will not be published
  4. Include the writer’s full name, city or town and Biola affiliation (if applicable)

Submission:

Please send your guest column to [email protected]

Selection process and timeline:

  1. Columns selected for publication will typically receive a response within a week.
  2. Columns are decided by the editors
  3. Columns may be edited and shortened for space.
  4. The Chimes is under no obligation to publish any guest column
