Spire, a conservation and sustainability journal, seeks submissions

Have a photo spread that highlights plastic waste and the ocean environment? An article about forming a writing community to engage with environmental topics? Or a five-year data analysis about energy savings from installing a home heat pump?

“Spire: The Maine Journal of Conservation and Sustainability” would like to hear from you. Spire’s editorial team at the University of Maine invites submissions for the fourth issue of the online journal, planned for release in spring 2020. 

Issue 3, released October 2019, is now live.

Spire staff members seek voices from a diverse range of people throughout Maine and the Northeast. Join its mission to galvanize action for conservation and sustainability by promoting impactful, awareness-raising dialogue.

Submissions should in some way concern the environment, conservation and/or sustainability — whether it’s current developments, ongoing issues, scientific findings or artistic insights on environmental themes. 

Work that can be broadly connected to Maine is encouraged. Visit the website to explore past issues for insight into the range of work included in the journal, as well as guidelines for submitting.

Jan. 31 is the deadline for submissions. Send submissions, questions and expressions of interest to join the team to spire@maine.edu.
