We welcome everyone to participate in our open project.

We publish 4 editions per year: June 20, September 20, December 20 and March 20. The deadlines to submit your article is the last day of the previous month (May 31, August 31, November 30 and February 28). Keep in mind that once your article is accepted, we might need to communicate further to polish all details and the visual until it all approved from both sides. Try not to wait till the last day, so we have enough time to make your article looking its best.

Since The Babel Flute offers an immediate translation to over 100 languages, we welcome you to write an article in your native language. If you choose to submit a video, please, give us a written abstract in either English or your chosen language.

You can illustrate your article with pictures (remember about copyrights, when submitting pictures. Do not submit pictures you don’t have rights to. Provide authors’ names and titles of works when ever you know them) and/or video examples (links to Youtube or a similar video host).

If you would like your article to be published, please confirm it back to us as soon as possible, so we can reserve a space for you in the closest upcoming edition! Send us an email at thebabelflute@gmail.com

Unique content

As a preference, we welcome articles and research that have never been previously published. Our aim is to offer our readers exclusive content while also shining a spotlight on our authors. We’re committed to promoting you and your articles on social media, channeling a diverse readership in your direction.

We look forward to work with you!
