Editorial Submissions

Lion’s Roar, Buddhadharma & lionsroar.com

Thank you for your interest in submitting your writing (or otherwise contributing) to Lion’s Roar. We’re always looking to share new and diverse voices and welcome the chance to see and publish your work.

We are a non-denominational Buddhist publisher. We seek to publish Buddhism-and mindfulness-confluent content that represents a multitude of traditions, ages, abilities, and interests, with a skillful approach to matters of gender, sexuality, ethnicity, race, and physical challenges. Please note that we generally do not publish poetry, or articles relating to yoga, life coaching, self-help, or general spirituality, nor are we an academic publisher. 

Lion’s Roar editors carefully read and consider each submitted draft or pitch we receive, and will determine which of our publication streams (Lion’s Roar magazine, lionsroar.com, Buddhadharma, and so on) a given submission might best fit. We try to respond to queries within eight weeks, but are not always able to do so. If you don’t hear back from us in a timeframe that works for you, you may of course feel free to take your submission elsewhere. Thank you for giving us the opportunity to consider your work.

Please send your article draft or pitch, along with a short author bio, to:
[email protected]

Art submissions

Art submissions may be sent to Andrew Glencross at [email protected]. If your artwork can be viewed online, send him a URL. Otherwise, email him a small sample of low-resolution images. He will follow up with you directly if he sees a good fit with either of our publications. If you’d like to submit an article with specific images, please follow guidelines for written submissions (details above).

A Note on AI

At Lion’s Roar, the material we publish is grounded in the dharma and in human experience — and we believe the way we produce it should reflect those same values.

As such we do not accept pieces generated primarily by AI. Additionally, we ourselves use AI as a practical tool in limited ways: to support research and the development of ideas, to streamline certain operational tasks, and in the creation of some marketing language. Any content published under our name is written, reviewed, and edited by human beings.

We are transparent about our use of AI and will update this statement as our practices evolve.
