Honorarium and Mentoring Opportunities

The Journal of Mormon History is the preeminent journal in the field of Mormon history/Mormon studies. We proudly publish the work of a diverse range of scholars from various disciplines. We enthusiastically solicit submissions from new voices and established scholars in the field.

To encourage productivity in the field, the Mormon History Association has established a $500 honorarium for all scholars publishing in the JMH for the first time, as well as those whose professions do not include a research component. This includes contingent faculty, community college faculty, graduate and undergraduate students, and independent scholars.

We are proud of our ongoing commitment to reach out to new voices. One of the concerns we frequently hear from historians that have yet to publish their work is that they don’t think it is yet up to par for publication. For that reason, we have instituted a mentorship program in which members of the board and other volunteer mentors have offered to read papers and provide feedback previous to their official submission. If you would like to get informal feedback on a paper for a possible future submission, please send your paper to journal@mormonhistoryassociation.org, with MENTORING INITIATIVE in the subject line.
