Business Insider, a digital publication with a substantial general readership, has issued an open call for personal essays specifically from writers aged 70 and older. The editor, Stephanie Pitera Statile, invites narratives that document the lived realities of later life: continued activity in retirement, the pursuit of side ventures, the realization of long-deferred ambitions, or the pragmatic reconfiguration of living arrangements with friends or relatives. The call also extends to those writing on behalf of a grandparent engaged in such experiences, though the primary voice sought is that of the elder writer. This is not a themed contest with a fixed deadline or entry fee; it is a rolling invitation. The absence of a fee and the open-ended timeline signal an interest in accessibility and sustained engagement rather than a one-off competition. The publication does not specify a prize or honorarium in the provided materials, and writers should note that Business Insider operates as a commercial media outlet. The editorial value here lies in the platform's reach and its explicit desire for first-person accounts that challenge reductive narratives of aging. The curatorial vision, as articulated in the call, favors specificity and agency. The questions posed—how one stays active, what side hustles have been started, which bucket-list items are being crossed off, how households are being creatively shared—point toward essays that are concrete, reflective, and grounded in the details of daily life. The editor is not seeking abstract meditations on mortality or generalized advice; she is seeking the particular. Writers should consider what moments, decisions, or arrangements in their own lives might resonate as both personal and broadly instructive.
