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. Daily Notes can be a paragraph. Saturday Wrap-Up pieces run 500–1,500 words. Monthly magazine essays go deeper.
Pitch Us
Tell us about yourself and what you'd like to write. We'll be in touch.
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.
