but to pursue the craft on a professional level I offer links

Sojourners


Soujourners is a Christian publication that may fit well with what some bloggers are alreadying writing. They pay well, offering $50-$400 depending on the type of article. Visit their site for complete guidelines and past issues - http://www.sojo.net/index.cfm?action=about_us.writers_guidelines


Although most of the articles that appear in Sojourners have been requested from particular writers, we do occasionally publish unsolicited manuscripts. We are interested in feature articles that treat biblical, social, political, economic, theological, community, or church themes (to mention a few) from a progressive Christian perspective. Where it is reasonable to do so, pieces should explicitly state their grounding in Christian faith. We encourage writers who are describing social or other problems to consider suggesting creative solutions to those problems. We encourage writers to use gender neutral language.



The length of features is generally 1,200-3,000 words. In addition to feature articles, we print "Taking Action" pieces (profiles of groups making a difference in the world) of about 600 words. We also publish commentaries, of roughly 600-650 words, on particularly current events
