About This Market
The Polishing Stone is a quarterly, ad-free publication about mindful, sustainable living, with the idea that we are creating our lives and our world, choice by choice. We have regular sections on environmental products/processes/services, organic cooking, plants and herbs, earth-friendly gardening, artisan work, "green" home remodeling, natural health, parenting, spirituality, and social and environmental issues.
Personal Essays: We appreciate essays with a personal voice, illustrative anecdotes, and a down-to-earth and hopeful tone.
Interviews: These are often written in a journalistic style or a Q & A format.
Traditional Journalism: A traditional feature relies more heavily on reporting than on personal reflection. Nevertheless, the overall tone should still be accessible and interesting to readers with varying experience of the topic.
Book/Film Reviews: We welcome information about books and movies of inspiration.
You may submit via regular post or e-mail. Please note that they only want a query letter if submitting by e-mail.
When submitting your article, please include your name as you would like to see it in print, a bio of one or two sentences printed at the end of your article (in these times, credentials are important, but we recognize relevant life experience and whimsy as beneficial additions to your biographical sketch), approximate word count of your story, and contact information: name, address, phone, email.
