Are you familiar with the Coming Home documentary film series? If not, you should consider giving them a watch. These half-hour, professionally-produced short films feature depthful storytelling and mesmerizing visuals that take viewers on a journey into the realm of near-death experiences. And their Coming Home Substack is well worth checking out as well.
With more than 372,000 YouTube subscribers and more than 29 million total views, Coming Home is a popular source of information regarding NDEs. And with more than 20,000 subscribers, their Coming Home Substack is quickly growing in popularity in the field of near-death studies, too.
Now, the team at Coming Home is accepting submissions for essays on the subjects of NDEs and related experiences. And if they publish your essay on their rapidly-growing platform, you might earn a $300 stipend, too!
What sorts of essays are they looking for?
The Coming home Substack is looking for original writing on topics involving NDEs and related phenomena. This includes autobiographical accounts of NDEs, philosophical and metaphysical implications, scientific research on NDEs and consciousness, spiritual or religious interpretations, and more.
Ideal contributors include scholars, researchers, practicing medical experts, near-death experiencers, journalists, and others with subject-matter expertise who can thoughtfully share stories and perspectives.
To be clear, not everyone who shares a story will see it featured. Potential contributors are asked to submit portfolio materials, including a CV and links to previous publications. They stress that they “value writing that is personal without being unstructured, intellectual without being inaccessible, and spiritual without being dogmatic.”
They’re looking for essays in the range of 2,000 to 5,000 words. They’re focused on original unpublished work, but they’ll consider material published prior so long as you retain the rights to that work.
How do you submit essays to the Coming Home Substack?
Stop by the Coming Home Substack submissions page for detailed instructions on how to make your submission. Their editorial team will then review your submission and respond within two to four weeks. If selected, writers will then work closely with their editorial team to prep the essay for publication on the Coming Home Substack.
