Welcome to our Writers Application!!!
MIND Magazines will publish three times a year in January, April, and September. As a writer of MIND Magazines, you will join our team and create articles relating to the month's magazine themes. We are looking for passionate and innovative students who are not afraid to explore their intellectual limits.
Our magazine is divided into three sections: Technology news, Scientific Discoveries, Ideas, and, we recently added, OpEd. While technology covers any tech-related news, scientific discoveries go over any recent discoveries in science, engineering, and mathematics. Finally, the ideas section covers the "A" in STEAM, which stands for art. This section usually refers to social sciences such as sociology, psychology, political science, etc. It is created to be a fun section where students can get answers to some of their everyday questions such as "How does the human mind work when it comes to liking someone" or "What is the science behind the voting system?" The last section, OpEd, is an opinion-based article where the writers can share their opinion on a topic while also making sure to be inclusive in their writing and, of course, respecting other people's views. To get an idea of what these sections are, visit: mindmagazines.com.
When it comes to writing the articles, a group will cycle through each magazine so that other writers can take a break. For example, one group of writers will write articles for a magazine, and in the next magazine, it will be another group.
