6. Write a Day at Our House diary!
It's easier than you think to get published in a national homeschool magazine. We're always looking for more folks who will share their homeschool day with us.
This is for our "Day at Our House" feature in Practical Homeschooling magazine.
Just keep a diary for one day, type it into your computer, and email it to
inbox@home-school.com.
Either send it as the body text of your email, or as an MSWord ".doc" attachment.
Please put "Day at Our House" in the subject line.
Please also attach a nice, clear, color photo of your family. If possible, show the kids in action, but if not, a regular posed photo is fine. Straight from the digital camera is best -- let us do the color correcting and resizing!
We can't run a diary without a photo, so scan it in or read it in from your camera, but make sure it is included!
Be sure to include your name, address, and telephone number in the body of your email, in case our editor needs to contact you.
Also please provide a "caption" for your photo, so we will know who is who from left to right.
We'd especially love to hear from families who homeschool in unusual or adventurous circumstances -- while sailing, or working with the circus, for example -- or whose kids are engaged in especially interesting or imaginative activities.
But we publish diaries from lots of "regular" homeschool families, too!
Your chances of getting published are very good.
So send your diary in!
