Rights for published work
The Humanist is indexed in the Readers Guide to Periodical Literature and other leading indexing and abstracting resources. Authors and other contributors give implicit permission for such publication when they submit materials. Because of this wider publication, our articles are frequently discovered by book and magazine editors who contact us for author and reprint information. This provides a good reason for authors, artists, and photographers to consider publishing in the Humanist and to keep us up-to-date with your contact information.
Additional info
Recent, previously published material will be considered if it appeared in a non-competing, low-circulation periodical or a purely local publication. To learn more about what we’re looking for, visit the Key Issues page of the American Humanist Association.
About the Magazine
Founded in 1927 | United States
TheHumanist.com and The Humanist Magazine, the publications of the American Humanist Association, provide news, opinion, and information. They apply humanism—a rational philosophy without theism or other supernatural beliefs that is informed by science, guided by reason, inspired by art, and motivated by compassion—to commentary on politics, science, technology, art, and culture. They also highlight the activities of humanists, including the programs and achievements of the AHA. They seek to provide a wide range of material that strives for ethical cohesion while also exploring where humanists diverge—not to further divide but to air, discuss, elucidate, and continually refine humanism.
