• Are you a good writer?
• Are you interested in writing about modest fashion or other subjects of interest to *Jen* Magazine readers?
• Are you interested in making some extra money?

If you answered yes to these questions we may be looking for you! We are looking for good original articles and are willing to pay for them. *Jen* Magazine pays $0.05 per word for articles, poetry, reviews, etc. that we choose to publish. To give you an idea, that would be $25 for a 500 word article.

To submit an article send it to jen @ jenmagazine.com (remove the spaces). You may also submit an article idea to see if we would be interested in it before you write it or email us with any other questions you may have.

Here are some things we're specifically looking for right now:

• Fashion articles (with or without pictures - we will pay $5 per picture we use).
• Videos (pay scale for videos to be determined).
• Articles for the Singles section about being single, dating, etc.
• Reviews of LDS or Christian music.
• Articles about choosing good media (with young tastes in mind).
• Articles about shopping with tips on how and where to find modest clothes (with young tastes in mind).
• Articles about why modesty is important while presenting it in a fresh way and keeping away from cliches often heard in church.
• Beauty articles.
• Health or Fitness articles.
• Wedding articles.

Please note that we are willing to publish but will not pay for press releases or articles that we feel are written for promotional purposes.

We are not interested in works that have previously been published online.

Here are some writers' guidelines:

*Jen* Magazine is a fashion and lifestyle magazine specifically for LDS teen and young adult women. It was conceived as an alternative to the worldly and sometimes sleazy magazines that are popular among young women.

Articles and stories in *Jen* Magazine should be similar to the types found in the popular young women's magazines except that they will be positive, clean, spiritual at times, coming from an LDS point of view and upholding LDS standards. Unless a story or article is unusually age-specific, it should read as if the writer is speaking to an 18-year old.

The style of *Jen* Magazine is young, fresh, eclectic, modern and sometimes edgy and blunt. We always strive to teach truth, but we get our messages through by presenting them in new ways. We try to avoid using terms and phrases that are gospel cliches and therefore tend to be ignored. *Jen* Magazine articles should have a casual tone and should seem to be coming from an older friend instead of a parent.
