Call for guest writers at Deepest Health

Hey everyone,

The summer is wrapping up for us at NCNM, which means a ramping up of school-related activity for me.  Add to that the fact that my best friends are getting married (and both my partner and I are in the wedding) is a recipe for light content here on Deepest Health.  So, I’d like to put a call out for guest authors.  I’m particularly interested in offering articles from guest authors on the following three topics:

1.  Back to school :  Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine students all over the US and elsewhere in the Northern hemisphere are heading back to school.  What advice do you have for them?  This can range from product reviews to lists of “must have” books and supplies, etc…

2.  Basic information from a unique perspective :  For instance, what can you tell us about some commonly used acupuncture points, but put a twist on them using the classics?

3.  Clinical stories : If you’re a storyteller and would like to share some of your most poignant lessons, whether in the classroom or clinic, I’m happy to publish stories like that as well.

Criteria for authors - I can’t publish just anything on Deepest Health, of course.  A site’s got to have standards, after all.  :)  You need to be able to write in English with a reasonable degree of accuracy and have decent flow.  You need to be able to proofread your articles and come up with engaging titles for them.  You need to be in the field of Chinese medicine, whether as a student, teacher or practitioner.  I reserve the right to say no to anyone.  I will probably receive more requests than I can publish, but may keep folks’ names on a list to contact if another guest writing opportunity arrives.  Let me know if you would rather I not put your name on that list.

Benefits of being a guest writer - If you run a blog or website, the benefits of being a guest writer are numerous.  Deepest Health gets a fair amount of targeted traffic, and because a link to your site will be provided in the text of the post, you will get visitors heading over to your site to learn more about the person behind the article.  The link will also provide some “link juice” from Google, helping your search engine rankings.  Even if you’re not a website owner, you will be able to get your name and your writing out there for folks in your field to read.  You will also obtain the massive personal benefits I get from having a blog – chief among them solidifying what you know and exposing what you don’t… a benefit that usually only comes from writing.

If you would like to write an article, and meet the criteria, please send your article along with a statement about who you are, where you go to school/teach/practice and any other relevant information to deepesthealth @ gmail . com (without the spaces).  It’s critical that the article not be published anywhere else on the web, so don’t bother sending me rehashed content.  If I choose your article, I will let you know and we can go from there!

One more note, folks : I will not be able to put together my regular Friday podcast this week.  I’m so sorry!  I will return to normalcy next week, no worries.

Thanks,

Eric
