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.
