Though not to be confused with the popular rap artist, Young Jeezy, Geez Magazine is a little controversial.
It wasn’t until I received the first issue and started reading the Letters section that I realized the controversy of the title, Geez.

I had read this article, and thought Geez was just the word that we used growing up, not some attempt to blasphemy God. Needless to say I think they got some heads spinning.
I like Geez Magazine. Every article I’ve read so far has been thought provoking and to some degree challenging. I’d like to be a part of that, I’d like to write for Geez Magazine.
The problem is, I don’t know if I’m Geezy writing material. I don’t know if my style fits. I’m not quite sure where to start. I did write something and I’ll send it in, but it doesn’t have the sort of abstract flair that so much of the magazine is covered in. The stuff people read at a poetry gathering and everyone snaps their fingers. Any suggestions on me becoming a better writer?
I’m a future publishee and I can tell you that a masters in creative writing is not needed. While “Geez” does have insightful prose it’s also is looking for faith experiments. It’s looking for spontaneous, I’m-still-outta-breath, mischievous ways to recapture the revolution that Mary began when she sang that the rich will go home empty and the hungry will be fed. If you can include some pictures of your faithfulness it would help. I lived out of the back of my truck for two weeks. The stories wrote themselves.
don’t try being Geezy. Write with your voice, your perspective. best of luck.
