The Cubit covers topics at the intersection of religion, science, technology, and ethics. If you aren’t familiar with our voice, please start with our manifesto, and then check out the collected works.
Send pitches to michael@religiondispatches.org. Tell us:
1. A one sentence version of your main argument or idea
2. Background information about the topic at hand
3. Why your idea is a good fit for The Cubit
4. Why you’re the right person to cover this topic, and, if it’s been covered before, what makes your position unique
And if you have experience writing for a popular audience, include some clips.
Remember that a good pitch is not just a collection of interesting ideas. It is a short and sharp introduction to a compelling topic.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do Cubit articles have to make explicit reference to religion and science?
Not exactly. Again, it really helps to scan through the collected works.
So what are you about?
Cubit pieces hit at least one area in column A, and at least one area in column B.
Are you an academic journal or a magazine?
We straddle that line. Many of our contributors are academics, and we engage with theory and the scholarly literature more seriously than most journalists. At the core, though, we’re following a magazine model. Our goal is to explore, inform, and entertain.
