For writers—
Science of Mind magazine publishes 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 Science of Mind principles is the magazine’s primary focus.
The magazine includes a great variety of features, usually running about 2,500 words in length. Types of articles often found in the magazine include:
First-person articles—These 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.
Interviews/profiles—Often 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 of the subject are required.
Principle-focused articles—These essays explore the meaning and application of a specific New Thought principle. They frequently give examples of the principle in practice and may include a discussion of similar ideas as articulated by other faiths.
Modern living articles—Modern living features address a challenging issue or a lifestyle choice that readers face in contemporary day-to-day life.
Mind-body articles—The relationship between the mental and physical realms is the topic of many articles.
