Heart of the Matter is in need of help in several areas. If you can help in any of the following ways or if you have a talent and would like to help in a way not mentioned, simply email us and let us know you’d like to help!
Areas requiring help:
article editors: Heart of the Matter publishes approximately 50 original articles per month. We are in need of a few “perfectionists” with strong grammar and visual skills to help edit and beautify the articles.
- article writers: We are always on the look-out for talented and inspirational writers. Currently we are praying for more writers who have a passion for the following topics – homeschooling toddlers, homeschooling preschoolers, homeschooling a child with disabilities, military homeschoolers, homeschooling an only child, homeschooling a large family, and homeschooling in a divorced family.
- special features writers: These special features include engaging weekly discussion-type posts, and a “comments of the week” post which spotlights some of the best comments from the previous week on Heart of the Matter.
- forum moderators and promoters: This would simply require that you choose one (or more) sections of the Heart of the Matter forum, post often to keep the forum active and spread the word to your friends. We have 58 sections to meet the needs of a wide variety of homeschool families.
- social media experts: Are you active on Facebook or Twitter? Are you a go-getter who loves making new friends and being active in the online community? We could use your help. We have so many great articles, announcements, and especially questions to share and ask of other homeschoolers. You would be given access to Heart of the Matter’s Facebook and Twitter, as well as a list of potential topics/questions that you can be creative with.
- sales reps: Heart of the Matter and A Woman Inspired are in need of commissioned sales reps. You will be thoroughly trained and will receive an portion of your sales. Contact us for details.
- conference hostesses: Between Heart of the Matter and A Woman Inspired, we hold 10 conferences per year. Our hostesses are responsible for introducing our amazing line-up of speakers, providing the attendants with information about our sponsors, moderating the chat, and reaching out to the Lord in a prayer just prior to the start of all the sessions. You can volunteer to be a hostess for as many conferences as you like.
Please note that all positions, with the exception of the sales rep position are on a volunteer basis. As a plus, Heart of the Matter’s team members receive free access to all of our conferences. If you are interested in any of these opportunities, please email us at: the.amies@heartofthemattermagazine.com

I am a freelance writing, homeschool mom of four teenagers–one who is graduating this year and heading to college on a full scholarship, the other three who are thirteen year old triplets! In my free time I run the junior and senior high classes in a homeschool co-op of 150 students and participate on the staff of Five in A Row curriculum. I am passionate about Jesus, my family, homeschooling with heart, gardening and good coffee. I would love the opportunity to contribute to HOTM and work with the amazing team that is represented here!

I am a former public school English teacher, follower of Christ, military wife, and homeschooling mom of six children, ages eighteen years (who has graduated and owns his own business) to nine months. I enjoy reading the articles you publish and would be willing to assist with editing, as needed. I enjoy writing, and am currently developing a “free homeschooling” website. I love to find a bargain on the internet or at the thrift stores, as we strive together to find ways to save money so we can continue to live on fifteen acres in the country with our children and a myriad of animals. Feel free to contact me if you feel you could use any sort of help I might offer.

Hi
I am not sure if I requested before but I am really amazed that I see this article today. It IS on my heart to talk about homeschooling a preschooler because that is where I am at right now. I am telling you I am really emotional right now because I was talking with HIM about it today…God is soooooo cool.
I am a mom of 6 (15,13,11,4yo…)and my oldest has always been @ home albeit online, cyber or traditional homeschooling. I also am noW actually adjusting to homeschooling in a big family as we now have 9mo twins romping around all day…except for NAP TIME!!!!!!!!!!!! PRAISE GOD FOR NAP TIME!
I am also a wife, a Children’s Pastor @ local church and a co-founder of HisFireKids.com children and youth ministry…
I am not sure if you need particular people to do certain topics but I’d LOVE to help you. Please let me know…blessings
