Editorial board

Since 2018, Tuwhiri has been publishing books on early Buddhism, its retrieval, and a secular adaptation to 21st century conditions, as well as making available thought-provoking books that are not obviously dharma books but which serve the ethic of care that is central to the dharma.

※ Members of our editorial board are

Cathryn Jacob ❖ The Midlands, UK
Ramsey Margolis (also our publlsher) ❖ Wellington, Aotearoa New Zealand
Winton Higgins ❖ Sydney, New South Wales, Australia

with
Pete Cowley - administrator ❖ Gisborne, Aotearoa New Zealand

※ Get involved

We’re all volunteers. If you’re interested in bringing the skills and experience you have, or are keen to learn what’s involved in bringing books to readers, reach out to us.

Publishing is a team effort. If you care about the development of a secular approach to the dharma, when you become part of Tuwhiri you’ll be helping to publish books, develop book reading groups, and more.

And for those interested in joining our editorial board, here’s a brief outline of what is involved.

Members of our editorial board solicit manuscripts for publication, evaluate manuscripts received, and edit them as necessary. They also take an interest in activities that grow out of Tuwhiri publications, and may participate in promoting Tuwhiri publications and activities.

Whether you’re in Europe, Africa, the Americas, Asia, Oceania or elsewhere, you might:

  • be on the editorial board for an agreed, fixed period of time, or
  • be with us for the long haul, or
  • be engaged in a particular project, or
  • have a useful skill or function, or
  • sit on the board in an advisory capacity, or as an elder statesperson 

People with us in an advisory capacity may, for example, be someone we may consult on a specific topic, or who has stepped down yet wishes to remain engaged.

Right now, we are looking for someone with book production experience, or who is happy to learn about the process of creating beautiful books.

Also, if you have knowledge of book distribution and marketing, or would like to apply your experience of social media in wholesome ways, we’re keen to hear from you.

And of course, if you’re not already getting our newsletter, News from Tuwhiri, you can sign up for it at the bottom of this page.

 

※ Submissions

To start with, please speak with or write to one of the members of our editorial board if you would like to discuss a book or an educational project. You can also get in touch with us through the Contact page.

Tuwhiri has put together a style guide to assist authors during the writing process. In the News section of our website, we posted the reasons we created this style guide for Tuwhiri authors. You may find it useful to go through the style guide itself at some point.

Finally, here’s a page in which we set out how to submit your manuscript..
