Submission Guidelines
Payment & Copyright
Payment
The Friend relies on the goodwill of its contributors: we are
not able to pay for articles, poems or reviews. When we specifically
ask someone to take photographs for us, we do aim to cover the
costs of film and developing.
Copyright
Please do not submit material to The Friend that you are submitting
elsewhere as this can have copyright implications. Please be careful
when quoting from other works, as this can also cause copyright
problems. The maximum is 400 words from a prose piece or 40 lines
from a poem, provided it is not more than a quarter of the poem.
Basically, avoid long quotes. Write from your own experience.

In 2005 a report was published which astonished peaceworkers the world over. It openly challenged the prevailing convention that political violence was rising relentlessly. Not so, the Human Security Report declared. For those prepared to look at the... |

Our ancient Meeting house in Yealand Conyers is fortunate to have the old village school in its south west corner. Years ago Friends converted it into a hostel for holidays and seminars. The latter include youth organisations. Sometimes they come fro... |

Looking back on the escalating horrors of twentieth-century warfare and the advances in nuclear and biological weapons, one can hardly avoid wondering whether the practice of modern warfare is heading for some unimaginable apocalypse of terror, death... |

Like many Quakers I have thought about the subject of violence quite deeply. I find it quite troubling, as no doubt many others do. When I was growing up in New Zealand in the 1950s and 1960s our society had little requirement for us to prepare for b... |
