Here are glimpses of the motivation that keeps these 10 well known writers at work.
"Long before I started writing, I enjoyed telling stories and holding the attention of an audience. Southerners tend to do that. By the time I was eight I was putting folk legends and ghost stories into my own words, telling them around the campfire at summer camp and on Boy Scout trips. I was lousy at sports, but I could keep the other kids on the edge of their logs. I think I learned to find my self-worth that way."
Our name is about honesty. The Monitor is owned by The Christian Science Church, and we’ve always been transparent about that.
The Church publishes the Monitor because it sees good journalism as vital to progress in the world. Since 1908, we’ve aimed “to injure no man, but to bless all mankind,” as our founder, Mary Baker Eddy, put it.
Here, you’ll find award-winning journalism not driven by commercial influences – a news organization that takes seriously its mission to uplift the world by seeking solutions and finding reasons for credible hope.
