Articles Needed for New Secular Homeschooling Magazine

Articles Needed for New Secular Homeschooling Magazine

------------ ----
Secular Homeschooling Magazine

I'm starting a print magazine called Secular Homeschooling, and am
looking for contributors.

The magazine will feature reviews of books and products of interest to
homeschoolers looking for first-rate educational materials. It will
also include regular columns on homeschoolers in the news,
homeschooling on a budget, and our own continuing education as adult
homeschoolers. Young homeschoolers are invited to contribute short
articles, stories, artwork, and poems for our "Home Scholars" page.

As this is the first issue, we're on a tight budget. My goal is to be
able to increase our pay rates as the magazine gains advertisers and
customers.

Full-length articles should be between one and two thousand words,
though I will consider longer pieces. Contributors will be paid $15
apiece. Product and book reviews should be at least 400 words. I will
pay $5 apiece for these, or $10 if they're accompanied by
professional print-ready artwork. Contributors to the "Home Scholars"
page will receive $5. Homeschooling cartoons are welcome; cartoonists
will be paid $5 per comic.

Please e-mail contributions with the subject heading Secular
Homeschooling. The article should be included in the body of the e-
mail.

Please forward this to any individuals or e-loops that might find it
of interest. Please don't post it on any loop such as CHN that has a
non-profit homeschooling publication; I don't want to draw
contributors away from such worthwhile endeavors.

All my best,
Deborah Markus
