Philosophy

The Christian Science Monitor, The Home Forum Section

Published on November 19, 2025 Paying Markets for Writers, welcomes new writers

“The Home Forum is a venue for upbeat first-person essays of 600 to 800 words. We seek a wide range of experiences and voices. The most successful essays are ones of self-discovery, insight, and progress. No medical themes, please, and nothing overtly religious. This is not an OpEd venue, I am not looking for mere travelogues, nostalgia, parenting, or nature essays, but travel, nostalgia, nature, and parenting themes must be in service to broader, more universal ones.” Weekly in print, daily online. Pays on publication. Publishes ms 3-8 weeks after acceptance. Buys 90 day exclusive rights, nonexclusive thereafter. No reprints. Responds in 3-4 weeks. Guidelines online

Pays $250/article of 600-800 words.
