Did you click on this page because you are interested in contributing to dirtydish??? We will most gratefully take submissions from women or men from those within or outside of the Vintage21 community. We are open to any topic you'd like to address. If you are interested in writing, but don't have a topic in mind, we are always happy to suggest ideas. The deadline for submissions is the first of each month if you want them up the following month. You may email us at submit@dirtydishonline.com.

Submissions must support the mission statement of dirtydish and fall within the larger vision and doctrine of Vintage 21... In other words, articles that present as truth something that Vintage21 does not consider Biblical will most likely not be included. Exploring issues and questioning doctrine is acceptable. Articles with offensive or discriminating language and words will not be accepted. While articles are supposed to be challenging and thought provoking, they should also be edifying to the reader and glorifying to God. While the articles express the opinion of the writer, all articles are reviewed for theological content. The editor has the right to reject articles that go against the stance of Vintage21 or contact the author for further discussion and suggestions. Editorial license will be used on all anonymous submissions while trying to preserve the true intent of the author.
