Share Your Story

SELAH is a digital magazine offering a Singapore perspective on a Christ-inspired life. We publish a wide range of stories that illuminate faith, culture, and everyday living. Submissions are open year-round. We strive to respond promptly, but please allow up to 2 months from receipt, as each submission is carefully curated and/or edited before we get back to you.

Prose

Our mission is to inspire readers to pause and reflect through narratives born from lived experience—not mere information or instruction. Focus on one real encounter and its tensions, then show the hope and truth discovered when the “light at the end of the tunnel” begins to appear.

Some technicalities:

  • Article length: 900–1200 words
  • First-person point of view
  • Target readers: ages 18–30
  • Prioritise practical, accessible theology
  • Include a title and subheadings
  • Optional feature image; minimum 1200 × 900 pixels (landscape), optimised for the web
  • Original work not previously published elsewhere

Poetry

We look for poems that move, humanise, or awaken. More importantly, we love poetry that acknowledges God’s presence in life—through both joy and sorrow.

Some technicalities:

  • Poems of any length are welcome
  • Submit up to four poems per submission
  • Free verse and traditional forms are both accepted
  • Please include poem titles
  • Optional feature image; minimum 1200 × 900 pixels, optimised for the web
  • Original work not previously published elsewhere

Photojournalism

We’re looking for a series of images that tell a larger story—about faith, life, or culture. Choose a strong theme and articulate your personal perspective on the subject.

Your photo journal entry should include the following:

  • A proposed title
  • A short opening paragraph (up to 150 words)
  • 6–10 images with titles and/or captions (max. 50 words per image)


Images should:

  • Be high-resolution and of the best possible quality
  • Be JPEG format, longest side ≥ 1600 pixels, optimised for the web
  • Not be previously published elsewhere
  • Have no watermarks (credit will be given to the creator)

At SELAH, we respect every creator’s rights. Images submitted will be used solely for photo-journal publication across SELAH’s media platforms. Copyright remains with the creator; if usage beyond this scope is needed, SELAH will first seek the appropriate permission.

Want to join our collective effort to assemble a montage of Singapore stories that hear God’s voice in life and culture? Send us your pitch or manuscript via our Contact Us page. If you’re unsure about any guidelines above, feel free to reach out.

Everyone has a story—and we can’t wait to hear yours.
