SUBMISSION GUIDELINES
MUSKOKA SENIORS MAGAZINE welcomes submissions from seniors, families and caregivers of seniors, and community members with senior-related stories.
Nutrition: What works for you, recipes, or other helpful nutrition or health related tips – 600 words about a change in diet, food, supplement, etc, that helped you lose weight, feel better, or improve your health in some way.
Faithfully Speaking: Share a personal story about how faith had an impact in your life. It can be an experience where it made a difference for you – helped you get through, changed your perspective, or had a positive impact in some way that is meaningful to you.
Family Matters: Share a story involving a senior family member in your life that you’re related to (or not). The goal is that it’s family oriented and involves a senior in some capacity – your family, a person that felt like or filled a role like a family member, a nearby or distant family with a story that is interesting or has had an impact on you in someway. It can also be a caregiving type story. If you’re not sure contact us about the fit.
Community Column: Around Muskoka – 600 words about community happenings that are relevant to seniors, a charity or non-profit community group, local history, or something you think our readers may find interesting and/or informative.
Features: 800-1200 words, and are relatable and inspiring. You can share a life experience that may be helpful to a senior in a similar situation (i.e. by showing how you or someone you know overcame a challenging situation – rather than giving advice), or it can be entertaining. The style is personable, compassionate, and can be a little humorous, too – like talking to a good friend.
We welcome stories in a serious or comical theme, with the intent to inspire in some way. They are written in first person, and anecdotes and quotes can also be included.
Poems, recipes, puzzles, jokes and seasonal colouring pictures are welcomed, too.
Because of the volume of submissions, only queries that are accepted will be contacted. Unsolicited manuscripts will not be returned.
Submissions can be emailed to: editorial@muskokaseniorsmagazine.ca.
Thank you,
