Stories & Photos Wanted
Living Free always has a need for articles, poems, photographs, and artistic works. We are interested primarily in stories and pictures that illustrate naturist life in everyday settings, and in all seasons; that is, nudity around the house, in the yard, at work (for those fortunate enough to work in conditions where natural living is possible), and at worship or in other spiritual settings.
There is a special need for stories about naturist family living — how one goes about conveying naturist values to the whole family, how to live as a naturist in the community, and the various challenges that living as a naturist life brings.
We also can use stories and photographs that touch on naturism in all its forms: recreational activities, vacations, travel, life in other cultures … the list is limited only by morality and good taste. Artistic nudes are welcome, and we occasionally need other types of nude images — theatrical productions or cinematic nudity — to illustrate the articles and poems we publish. We do not publish pornography.
We pay $10 for poems, columns, and short articles, $20 for stories of 750 – 999 words, and $30 for feature articles and fiction of 1,000 to 2,500 words. We will consider even longer articles and works, but suggest a query first.
Photographic contributions to accompany the stories, or as stand-alone photos, will bring $50 for cover photos; inside, the rate is $25 for the first photo and $10 for each additional photo in the series. We can take prints, but greatly prefer digital images sent via email. Preferred file sizes are at least 1 megabyte; we may not be able to use them if the images are too small.
We require a release form signed by all recognizable subjects in the photos, and offer a model release form below. (Click on the image to download the release.) Please mail the releases to Living Free, 125 Summer Street, Bristol NH 03222, or email a scanned form, along with your story and photo contributions, to lfeditor@icloud.com.

We adhere to the 10 tenets of the NLI* Credo:
We appreciate all of nature and believe it is an ideal context for nudity.
We appreciate all of nature and believe it is an ideal context for nudity.
EveryBODY is beautiful.
We are family-oriented.
We promote nudity in everyday life, not merely recreation.
Naturism is more than skin-deep; substantial gymnosophy underlies our nudity.
Nudity is not a pretext for lust.
We revere tradition while welcoming truly wise change.
We deeply respect religion, without promoting any particular creed.
Our nudity is unabashed but not exhibitionist.
