Hints: Before you submit a manuscript, study a copy of Catholic Digest for article tone and style. We favor the anecdotal approach. Stories submitted must be strongly focused on a definitive topic. This topic is to be illustrated for the reader by way of a well-developed series of true-life, interconnected vignettes. Most articles we use are reprinted -- they have appeared in another periodical or newspaper. But we also consider original submissions. Don't query. Send the article itself. We don't consider fiction, poetry, or submissions simultaneously sent to other publications. Include your name, address, and telephone number on each submitted page. If you are submitting an article for reprint consideration, you must include the name, address, and editor of the original publication source, the copyright line from the original source, and the page number and date of the original publication. E-mail submissions should be included within the text of your message rather than as an attached file.
