November 10, 2026: The Catholic Truth Society (CTS) is inviting Catholic writers to share their faith, experiences and insights through its Substack publication, Living Catholic Truth. The initiative offers writers an opportunity to reach a wider Catholic audience while supporting the Society’s mission of helping people grow in their understanding and practice of the Catholic faith.
With an emphasis on relatable, thoughtful and practical content, CTS hopes to bring together voices from different walks of life to inspire Catholics navigating the challenges of modern living.
Living Catholic Truth aims to address an important question: what does holiness look like in the 21st century?
While the lives of the saints continue to offer timeless inspiration, Catholics today face challenges that previous generations could scarcely have imagined. The publication seeks to bridge this gap by offering reflections that connect the teachings of the Church with everyday experiences.
Contributions are welcomed from lay Catholics, priests, religious and others who can share meaningful perspectives on living the faith. Rather than focusing exclusively on formal theological essays, CTS encourages honest, accessible and engaging writing that helps readers deepen their relationship with Christ.
CTS is seeking essays between 1,000 and 1,500 words that are relevant and helpful to everyday Catholics wishing to grow in their faith.
Articles should be original, well-written and ready for publication. They must remain faithful to the teachings of the Catholic Church and avoid unnecessary controversy, sensationalism or clickbait.
The Society does not accept AI-generated content, either wholly or partially. Writers may use tools such as Grammarly for spelling and grammar assistance, but the submitted work must be entirely their own.
Previously published articles are generally not accepted, although writers may submit adapted pieces originally published on their personal Substack or blog.
Living Catholic Truth offers several sections covering different aspects of Catholic spirituality and daily life.
Its main publication, released every Tuesday, features four themes:
Other offerings include The Oracle, a monthly column by Professor Jacob Phillips of St. Mary's University, Twickenham, examining recent Magisterial teachings and communications from the Holy See. The Weekend Read shares extracts from CTS books every Friday, while CTS Videos features transcripts of recent YouTube content every Thursday.
Although CTS cannot offer payment for unsolicited first submissions, regular contributors may have opportunities to become paid writers through future commissions.
Accepted articles may also be shared beyond Substack through CTS social media channels and email subscribers, potentially reaching a combined audience of approximately 70,000 people.
This offers Catholic writers valuable exposure and an opportunity to contribute to a wider mission of evangelisation and faith formation.
Interested writers are encouraged to explore Living Catholic Truth and familiarise themselves with its mission before submitting.
Articles should follow the specified writing guidelines, including British English, capitalisation of pronouns referring to God, double quotation marks and simple inline citations. Submissions should be provided in .doc or .docx format.
Writers must also provide a brief biography, faith background, writing experience, preferred topics and social media details. All submissions are subject to editorial review and acceptance is not guaranteed.
Founded in 1868 by Herbert Cardinal Vaughan, the Catholic Truth Society is a London-based Catholic publisher and charity dedicated to supporting Catholics through reliable publications, education and spiritual resources.
Through Living Catholic Truth, CTS hopes to create a welcoming community where people can share their experiences, explore the richness of Catholic teaching and encourage one another to live out their faith.
Catholic writers with a passion for sharing the Gospel and helping others grow spiritually are warmly invited to become part of this initiative.
