Why Contribute
You would want to contribute to The Daily Life Magazine because the smaller things in life catch your attention and you appreciate their significance. You can pen down your observations in dramatic ways and we value that by making room for your writings and ensuring the attention it deserves.
Length
300 to 1000 words.
Goal
Your essay should aim to express your observation of the Everyday (daily) life – in any narrative form. There should be something that inspires the readers both in its core idea as well as the presentation style.
Topics
Any topic related to Everyday Life makes a good fit for the platform. The topics follow a loose structure of themes like Time, Space, and People. Although the definition of everyday includes an overlapping of the three facets, still an essay’s central focus could be a repetitive moment or event (time); a spatial location (space) where the experience unfolds; or a person/group in focus, living the everyday. Additionally, there is a long list of topics to select from.
We cannot accept offensive, violent or sexually explicit writing.
We do not encourage personal essays and essays which feature names of people and things (brands, institutions, etc) and thus try using minimum identifiable references.However, first person narrative form can be used. We also do not publish topics related to religion and politics. We cannot accept offensive, violent or sexually explicit writing.
Style
The style of writing is central to the editorial focus. Originality and creativity of narrative presentation are given utmost priority. Our content is creative nonfiction, essays and features writing. We do not publish poetry currently. An article could include real experiences or observations narrated in the most inventive ways.
