Write for At The Well

At The Well is on a mission to enhance well-being through ancient Jewish practices. Your stories, experiences, and insights are a crucial part of this work!

Through our blog, we invite women and nonbinary folks to add your voices to the thousands of years of wisdom we have inherited. We believe Jewish tradition comes alive when we find the meaning it holds for us today, in the joys and difficulties of our own lives. We will compensate contributors $100 per article.

Your biggest assets are your own lived experience and your thoughtful questions. You do not need to be a rabbi or spiritual teacher to write for us, we promise. Take a leap and send us your idea!

Once you submit, you’ll hear back from Katie in 7-10 days to know whether you’ll be writing with us. You’ll then choose a submission deadline that works for you, write your piece, and get support with editing from our team.

To propose an article, please submit the form at the bottom of this page. Pitches are accepted on a rolling basis.

Email Katie at katie@atthewellproject.com with any questions. 

We’re looking for articles (400-850 words) on topics such as:

  Consider experiences like partnering, new job, change in health, transition of city, menstruation, menopause, gender transition, sex, pregnancy, divorce, grief, loss, parenting, grandparenting, aging, etc.

  This could be prayer, honoring Shabbat, blessings, visiting the mikvah, etc.
