Good writing by people who've lived a while.

Are You Over 70 and Have Something to Say?

Gneiss People is looking for contributors who bring a lifetime of experience to the page.

Guidelines

  • You must be 70 or older. This is the one non-negotiable. Gneiss People is written by people who've lived a while.
  • You must be human. AI for research is fine. AI-written prose or AI-generated photography is not. We publish real writing by real people.
  • Voice matters more than polish. We're looking for authentic perspectives — memoir, reflection, opinion, reportage. We'll help with editing.
  • Length is flexible. Gneiss Gnotes can be a paragraph. Gneiss Weekend pieces run 500–1,500 words. Longer-form stories go deeper.

Pitch Us

    Get Paid — Or Give It Back

    Contributors choose: receive payment for your work, or donate your pay to the Gneiss Fund. Either way, your writing reaches readers who value it.
