HINTS: "Writers need not have any beer knowledge, and pitches don't have to be (and shouldn't be) just about beer. We want male-interest stories; if a guy would want to read it, pitch it. Our demographic isn't much different from Maxim, Esquire or Men's

We would also like to see meditations that help people understand how personal relationship with Christ differs from knowing about Christ and the church.
