Angels on Earth
PAY: $25 - $400
Publishes true stories about God's messengers at work in today's world. We are interested in stories of heavenly angels and stories involving humans who have played angelic roles in daily life. The best stories are those where the narrator has been positively affected in some distinct way. Look for unusual situations; we have a surplus of stories about illness and car accidents. We are also especially on the lookout for recent stories. A typical Angels on Earth story is first-person narrative written in dramatic style, with a spiritual point that the reader can "take away" and apply to his or her own life. It may be your own or someone else's story.http://www.angelsmagazine.com/writers_Guidelines.asp

Conscious Choice

The articles we publish are intended to educate and delight our readers with new possibilities for living and awareness. We prefer thoughtful, well-researched articles with an informed and upbeat tone. We favor a narrative approach in which ‘story-telling’ is emphasized. We welcome investigative reports, personal interviews, and essays with a philosophical bent.http://www.consciouschoice.com/info/submissions.html

Belly DuJour
PAY: $100The definitive source for all-around eating enthusiasts looking for delectable specialty foods, is currently seeking submissions for its twice-weekly e-mail newsletter. We welcome ideas for articles on artisan foods (cheeses, smoked goods, etc.), dessert items (chocolates, pies, etc.), pantry items (condiments, spices, etc.), or truly unique food products/gadgets that are just hitting the market. Articles need be informative, witty, and approximately two hundred (200) words, reflecting our belief that all content should be short and savory. We pay $100 per piece (roughly $0.50 per word) except on the rare occasion where a substantially smaller or larger word count is deemed necessary from the outset. Interested parties are asked to send previous writing samples and a clear and concise pitch for a story idea.

hidden europe magazine
PAY: variesIs always interested in hearing from writers who would like to contribute to our magazine. We invite those with a possible interest first of all to familiarise themselves with hidden europe. You can check out our website, but this is no substitute for browsing our latest issue or a back issue. Single issues can be purchased through our online shop. We are not just another travel magazine. Rarely do we cover famous destinations, and the glitz and the gloss of posh hotels and the finest restaurants we leave to others. We write about everyday Europe with passion, care and conviction, and we hope that our guest contributors will bring that same positive sense of enquiry to the people and places about which they write. Only very rarely do we accept travelogues, and we have never published a simple account of a writer’s holiday, no matter how exotic the destination. We are looking for something more: a wide and balanced understanding of how a place and its people function, backed up by reasoned views, careful explanation and perceptive insights. These are not the sort of properties easily born of just a brief engagement with a destination. We like what we publish to reveal the authority that the author brings to the topic. Where we contract external authors, we really are looking for something that is evocative, impeccably researched and well crafted. Our external authors have often lived and worked in the areas about which they write. http://www.hiddeneurope.co.uk/submissions.php
