We feature fiction stories in each issue. We look for fresh, creative stories, especially those with children our audience’s age as the main character. The characters should be well-developed, the story fast-paced and interesting, and the prose descriptive and engaging. While our stories aren’t always explicitly Christian, they should be built on a foundation of Christian beliefs and family values. Key elements in a strong story are humor and charm.

Nonfiction - 1000 words max

Max words: 400

Max words: 1000

Sub Genres: All / surprise us

Payment: $ 0.25 per word

We are always looking for unique and interesting nonfiction stories and articles, especially stories about real-life kids. Every article should have a Christian angle, though it shouldn’t be overbearing. The concepts and vocabulary should be appropriate for our audiences’ ages. Nonfiction stories should fall between 400-500 or 800-1,000 words in length.

  • Additional info

    Clubhouse is for 8- to 12-year-old girls and boys. What we don’t need: ~ Stories where adults solve every problem ~ Mystery stories (we have a monthly column) ~ Stories that deal with boy-girl relationships ~ Poetry (we don’t print poems, but Clubhouse Jr. does) ~ Preachy sounding stories with an overbearing moral or message ~ Bible stories—as of January 2007, we only publish Truth Pursuer devotionals ~ Science or educational articles without Christian insight ~ Biographies told in an encyclopedia or textbook-style without a kid angle Payment We generally pay between 15 and 25 cents per word, depending on the amount of editing required. Feature-length fiction stories are usually bought for $200 and up. Nonfiction pieces are purchased for $150 and up. Authors sign a contract and are paid upon acceptance of the story and sent complimentary copies when the piece is published.
