What is the DYM editing process like?

Great question! Watch this quick video to learn more about the process of becoming a DYM author and the DYM Pipeline process.

Looking for more details?! Here you go:

Submission Review

A team will review each submission asking, “Could I see this being used in our youth ministry?” Resources that are formatted according to submission guidelines, free from potential copyright issues, and a great match for the DYM store will be accepted to move forward in our editorial process.

Editorial Process

Each submission is reviewed by two editors and a graphic designer to ensure everything top notch for the end-user! At any time during this process, we may contact you with requests for things like spelling/grammar fixes, content adjustments, and graphics changes.

Graphics Note: Instead of waiting for the DYM team to design the graphics, consider partnering with another design-savvy DYM Author. Visit the DYM Authors Facebook Group to get started.

What Timeline Can I Expect?

We’re incredibly grateful that so many youth workers trust DYM for their programming—and that so many of you want to contribute your resources to benefit other ministries! Due to the high volume of submissions we receive, the process can take anywhere from 12 weeks to 12 months.
