Mountain Top Quarterly - Call for Submissions

    The Mountain Top Quarterly is a publication of the Mountain Top School, an organization dedicated to creating a new, sustainable way of living for our membership. In order to achieve this, we are preparing to teach the skills and knowledge required to create such a life.

    The Mountain Top Quarterly includes articles from those interested in any element necessary for the creation of a different, sustainable future for humanity. The article may take any perspective, and given that it meets the qualifications specified below, it will be published.
 

   The Mountain Top Quarterly is a not-for-profit magazine and cannot offer payment for any submission. All manuscripts are welcome, and represent an opportunity to share information, perspectives, and experiences. The goal is the creation of an open forum for our authors and to garner publicity for the Mountain Top School, of course. The magazine will be available as a free PDF download or in bound form, for the cost of printing, at lulu.com.

Thank you for your time,

Benjamin Shender
Editor
