Pay: Typically pays $150 for personal essays and shorter pieces that appear in our regular columns, $350 for reported feature articles.
Hints: Of course, good writing always stands out. Our style is frank and positive and our readers see our magazine as a sort of national support group in print. How-to and service-oriented pieces are always welcome (e.g. How to talk to your child about adoption, How to create an adoption announcement, How to prepare your child for entering school, How to Respond to friends' and relatives' questions about your adoption). Beautifully written, emotional stories are always welcome, too, as are humorous essays.
Photos/Art: We can also use prints sent by mail, but we cannot guarantee that unsolicited photographs will be returned.
