Inspiration for recovering individuals and their loved-ones

Submission Guidelines

Thank you for your interest in submitting your writing to the Eating Disorders Recovery Today. We welcome articles, poetry, artwork, and input for making this a truly helpful resource for families and individuals in recovery.

Each accepted submission will be posted at EatingDisordersReview.com, and publicized in Gürze Book’s monthly lay e-newsletter that is sent to over 20,000 people.

Submissions: Articles should be sent in a .doc format to Lindsey Hall Cohn at Lindsey@gurze.net.

Topics: Our goal is to provide issue-driven articles that will give our readers good ideas that will apply to their recovery situations and lives. Although points can be backed up by relevant research, or illustrated by a case study or even a personal story, these should not be the main focus of the article. Charts, graphics, exercises, lists, etc. are great additions. We also publish a book, film, and CD reviews.

Audience: Our audience is families and individuals in recovery from eating disorders. Writing directly to "you," the reader of your article, is acceptable. Our "Heart to Heart" column can also be written from the "I" voice.

Editing: We have the capability for some in-house editing, but obviously prefer that articles be carefully edited before they are submitted.

Length: We use articles of varying lengths, anywhere from 400-1600 words.

Poetry: We occasionally publish poetry, which is positive in tone, and we prefer a maximum of 50 lines.

Rights: Accepted articles become the property of Gürze Books, LLC and may be reprinted online without compensation. Articles must be original and must not have been published previously. Authors may re-use their articles for personal use in compilations or websites of their own material. Further use must be authorized by Gürze Books.
