Looking
for Writers
We are constantly looking for new writers to provide
content for Lifted Magazine, a digital magazine targeted at Generation X &
Y-ers (18-35 years old) with a Christian bias. We are always looking for those with a positive
outlook and fresh ideas to share.
There is no paid
compensation, only recognition and publicity
via the magazine. As the magazine grows, compensation will
be considered should the content merit. This position is well suited to a self-motivated individual who is looking to grow their portfolio and has many ideas of their own to share. We rarely insist on what should be covered by writers but instead let them write about what interests them at the moment.

- Dating &
Relationships: advice, tips, experiences (i.e. with dating sites, dating as a Christian), etc.
- College &
Career: tips on getting jobs, life in the workforce, how you got where you are today, college related stories (fitting in there, college life, transitions), (articles on parenting will also be considered here, esp. regarding balancing children and life/school/work), etc
- Travel: city guides (in depth – 2,000+ words), hot spots, unique places, experiences, gear, etc.
