Writing for Your Teen Media
If you have an idea for an article: Please send a pitch of your idea to the Your Teen editors. Your pitch should be no more than three or four paragraphs. It should include: a short overview of your idea, why it matters to our audience, and a sense of the experts/parents/teenagers (if applicable) you will interview for your story. We recommend you take the time to review our website before you pitch us. Please also tell us about your writing experience and provide links to 2-3 writing samples.
If you have an idea for an essay or blog: Great! Our readers love personal stories about the ups, downs and in-betweens of raising teenagers. However, we cannot commit to publication of an essay or blog without reading the entire piece first. Please submit your essay or blog to the Your Teen editors. We sometimes make exceptions for experienced essayists/bloggers. If that’s you, please send a couple paragraphs about your idea and 2-3 samples of your work. Work must be original and not previously published.
If you are an expert:Also great! We have many experts writing for Your Teen. Please submit a one to two paragraph description of the expert advice piece you’d like to write to the Your Teen editors. In addition, please tell us about your professional background.
We appreciate your patience. You may not hear from us right away. We get a lot of email. If we are interested in your idea, we will be in touch. If you don’t hear from us, it’s because we don’t believe your idea is a good fit for Your Teen at this time. Feel free to pitch us a new idea.
Our writer’s agreement: If we publish your work, we’ll send you an official contract, but you can preview some of our key terms here.
No simultaneous submissions: We ask that you give us 14 days for evergreen topics and 5 days for timely topics before you submit your pitch or article elsewhere. If you are submitting a full draft for consideration, it should be unpublished work that has not appeared previously in print or online (including personal blogs, Medium, etc.).
Tone and editorial style: We are looking for an engaging, upbeat, and journalistic writing style. It’s often a good idea to open your piece with an anecdote, and humor is appreciated when appropriate.
Your Teen is meant to be readable for busy parents. Helpful subheadings are recommended as appropriate, and we avoid overwrought language and excessive use of passive voice.

We are a quarterly national print and digital magazine publishing award-winning journalism and cutting-edge photography, art, and video dedicated to protecting the natural world.

We’re looking for reported stories on a wide range of environmental and social justice issues from writers who can bring to our audience a broad array of perspectives and writing styles.

And we’re constantly on the lookout for thoughtful adventure writing and service journalism about sustainable living. We also publish book and film reviews and even the occasional opinion essay.

Smithsonian Magazine
Smithsonian magazine accepts unsolicited proposals from established freelance writers for features and some departments. This form has been developed to give you the most direct and timely access to the editors of the magazine. It also allows you to provide all of the basic information we need to make an initial determination about your proposal and about you as a writer. Please do not submit your query under more than one subject area or department at a time.
Due to the volume of submissions, we cannot guarantee a response to all inquiries, but if we are interested in pursuing a story, we will contact you.
Tips from MakeaLivingWriting.com
Did you know the Smithsonian Institute includes 19 museums and galleries, the National Zoological Park, and 2.7 million square feet of indoor space? There’s a lot to know and a lot to learn about the past, present and future of science, technology, the environment, and even the universe.
And you can write about it for the Smithsonian magazine and get paid well. The Smithsonian pays freelancers $1-$3/per word, which means a $500 assignment is more than realistic. So how do you break into this magazine?
“There has to be something surprising and narratively interesting there,” says Senior Editor Jenny Rothenberg Gritz. “If the story is about the natural world, either the person you’re writing about has to be super charismatic and interesting, or something done about the issue has to be amazing.”

FreelanceMom Guidelines for Submissions
Your article should offer current practical and actionable advice, tips and be in-depth enough that the reader walks away with new knowledge and new approaches. (In-depth, meaning, not saying the same thing that is already been said a hundred times before and is well-researched and thought-out).
Your article should be well-organized, written in short paragraphs and include lists and bullet points where it makes sense. Feel free to include graphics to illustrate your points.
Please include any references to research or other references you used to write your content. We won’t necessarily put this in your article, but just so we know where you got your facts from.
Your article HAS to be original and not published anywhere else EVER. (We have exclusive rights to the content).
Your article should contain personal stories and anecdotes that connect and are relatable to other moms who want to sell their expertise or currently run a part-time or full-time business.
Your article should have a thought-out headline (which gives me a good indication of what your content will be like).
Your article should contain a “20 to 30 minute action plan” at the end (whether that is in the form of powerful reflective questions, tools to use or an actual step-by-step plan that will help the reader apply their learning).
Guest articles should be between 900 to 1,500 words.
Three types of articles do well here, but not limited to are (I have examples of content ideas below):
Highly personal articles where there are lessons learned that you share or aggregated case-studies from other moms running businesses based on a particular theme. For example: “How these three moms priced their services or unique ways to make an extra $1000 a month or “How I increased my Facebook engagement and got 100 new email subscribers.”
Highly researched articles that illustrate trends or industry knowledge. For example: “Should you publish your price on your website? what the experts say and why?”
Education based articles (guides) on specific systems, processes or tools. For example “illustrated demo on “how to use a xxx process or tool to save 5 hours a week” or “your guide on negotiating price with first time clients” or “the one tweak you need to make to your website that your missing or where you should put your opt-in forms on your website and why.”
What You’ll Get When You Write For FreelanceMom

Christian Courier: Poems, Short Pieces
Roughly three generations have inhabited CC’s pages, exhorting one another, seeking a faithful intersection of Christian testimony and cultural engagement. Each decade birthed new emphases – the struggles of immigrants acclimating to Canadian culture, sharp theological conflicts, the theory and praxis of Christian schools and other Christian organizations, Sunday observance and movie attendance, the place of women in the church and the current focus on social justice issues.
