Quaker Religious Thought accepts unsolicited manuscripts and proposals on topics related to Quaker theology and related subjects. We also accept queries regarding book reviews and book reviewers.

The journal Quaker Religious Thought works closely with the Quaker Theological Discussion Group: papers given at the annual QTDG sessions may be invited for publication in subsequent issues of QRT. Annual calls for papers for QTDG can be found on this website.

The 2025 call for papers can be found here; proposals are now closed, and QTDG sessions will be held virtually on December 12–13, 2025. Calls for papers generally appear annually around August 1.

Unsolicited Submissions:

Manuscripts of approximately 2500 words may be sent to the QRT editor for review. We will also consider brief proposals if you are interested in discussing an idea with the editor prior to sending a full paper. A paper will not be accepted until a full manuscript is received and reviewed by the editor, and after a peer review process. QRT mainly uses The Chicago Manual of Style citations format; see QRT style guide for further details. Send manuscripts to the QRT editor, Jay Miller, at jaym at georgefox dot edu.

Book Reviews:

One or two book reviews may appear in each issue of QRT, and QRT appears twice a year.

If you are an author or publisher with a book you think will be of interest to an audience of Quaker scholars and other interested Friends, please send the QRT editor a query including the title and publication information about the book and why you think the book will appeal to Friends. If we agree to review the book, we will arrange for a review copy.

If you are interested in writing book reviews for QRT, please write to the QRT editor to express your interest. A brief explanation of your expertise and connection to Friends will help the editor match you with books to review.

You may also suggest a book for review and offer to review it.
