For writers—

Science of Mind magazine publishes several types of articles that teach, inspire, motivate, and inform. Editorial content addresses the concerns, interests, and problems of readers, offering thoughtful perspectives on how they can experience greater self-acceptance, empowerment, and meaningful living. Achieving wholeness through applying Science of Mind principles is the primary focus.

The basic requirements of good, clear writing apply to all material used in the magazine. In addition, these special guidelines should also be noted:

First-Person Articles - The articles concern individuals who have experienced a significant, often dramatic, event in their lives. The theme of the articles should inspire readers to make a similar change in their own lives. The article may also recount a deep spiritual experience or the way in which Science of Mind principles have been applied to create a positive inner change. Length: 1000-2000 words.

Interview / Profiles - Each month an interview with or profile about a notable spiritual leader is featured. These articles are usually assigned, but queries are welcome. Refer to previous issues of Science of Mind for typical subjects and style to be followed. Bio, lead-in and photo required. Length: 3500 words.

Daily Guides -Inspirational meditative readings for each day of the month are based on Science of Mind teachings and include a quotation from the Bible, one of the sacred scriptures of the world, or other spiritual source. Each day must include a quote from The Science of Mind text by Ernest Holmes. A sample set of six Daily Guides may be submitted. These are written by Science Of Mind ministers or practitioners. Refer to previous issues of Science of Mind magazine for length, style, and sample content.

Poetry - Science of Mind magazine is not accepting poetry submissions at this time.
