Discovery Girls Magazine to feature homeschooled girls

Wednesday April 2, 2008
Homeschooling community, your daughters are invited to be a Discovery Girl star!

Discovery Girls Magazine is reaching out to the homeschooling community to find tween homeschooled girls to profile in their magazine. In a feature about homeschooling, they want to let their readers know how homeschool is structured, how it operates and feature 2-3 girls so their readers can get a better grasp and have a face for the homeschooler. They will see that they look, dress and probably enjoy the same things as other girls their age. This will be a positive piece, as their magazine is inspirational and educational.

For more information, visit the Discovery Girls Magazine website, and submit a questionnaire.

They’ve already chosen a homeschooled Discovery Girl from Tennessee for the next issue. The next three states after that are going to be New York, Connecticut and Pennsylvania. The deadline for submission is April 18. Here are some tips on making a terrific questionnaire that stands out from the rest.

If you're not in one of those three state, you can still submit a questionnaire and they'll file it away for a future issue.

NOTE: The questionnaire has been updated to include homeschooling questions. Also, though you don’t need to, you can certainly talk about homeschooling in answers on any of the questions if it's relevant (like for sports or activities that you feel passionate about, maybe there’s a peer group of homeschooled children that has an organized sport or activity). Every questionnaire is read closely, so this will get the appropriate notice.

That sounds good and my tween is interested but the links you sent say nothing about a homeschooling feature. They just mention what states they will be in.There doesn’t seem to be any questions that give a person the chance to mention homeschooling either. Any ideas who to contact there?Thanks for the post about it too!
