Free Media Content

My weekly blog post, WINDOW ON THE MOUNTAIN, may be reprinted, royalty-free, by any online or print publication. This includes newsletters, blogs, newspapers, and magazines. Each post runs 400-700 words and contains general commentary on Sustainable Living, Rural Communities, Outdoor Adventure, or Writer's Life presented in an informal, conversational style. The content is PG and does not address inherently controversial subjects, although these days if I write that the sky is blue and the grass is green, someone is likely to argue the point. Registered users will receive an email notification when the latest blog post is uploaded, typically every Tuesday afternoon. The following rules apply: - The content may not be published on websites, on social media, or in physical media that promote controversial or illegal material. - Users may not alter or edit the content in any way. - Users must publish the related illustration and may not substitute their own graphics. - The work must be credited to John B. Marek with the tagline "John B. Marek is a maker, doer, grower, and writer who creates insightful essays and award-winning fiction focused on sustainable living, rural communities, and outdoor adventure.
