The Sunday Evening Review is a magazine for people who have been alive long enough to know things.
Not “seniors.” Not a “demographic.” People. People with opinions and appetites and humor and sorrow and curiosity. People who have done things and are still doing things and are tired of being spoken to as though their best years are behind them.
We publish long-form writing on ideas, health, money, food, faith, relationships, the outdoor life, and the week’s news. Our writers are experienced journalists, practitioners, and thinkers who have spent decades learning their subjects and who treat every reader as a whole person.
What We Believe
We believe that American media has abandoned the middle of life. Not the political middle, though that too. The middle of life. The years between ambition and obituary. The years when you know things. When you have earned opinions through experience instead of ideology.
We believe the best writing sounds like a smart person talking to a smart person over a drink. We believe in facts and the obligation to check them and the courage to follow them somewhere uncomfortable.
We believe the best years of your life are the ones you are living right now.
What We Will Not Do
We will not condescend. We will not write about “seniors and technology” or “staying young” or any other construction that treats age as a problem to be managed. We will not tell you what to think. We will lay out the evidence, tell you what we think, and trust you to make up your own mind.
We will not be partisan. We will be opinionated. There is a difference.
Our Writers
The Sunday Evening Review is built on the principle that the best editors find the best writers and then get out of the way. Our columnists are not content producers. They are journalists, essayists, and practitioners who have been thinking about their subjects for decades. Meet our writers.
Who We Are
The Sunday Evening Review was founded in 2026.
Dale Parsons, Editor-in-Chief
Dale spent more than a decade at a national magazine for older Americans and nearly a decade running a regional magazine in Virginia before founding the Sunday Evening Review. He believes the most underserved audience in American media is the sixty million Americans over fifty who are tired of being talked down to. He writes a weekly editor’s letter about small things that make him think about large things.
