Submission Guidelines

Length:

Between 500 and 1000 words.

​

Format:

Please submit via the submission link below. Use the existing blogs as a guideline for your own submission.

Blog posts should be proof-read before submission for grammar and sentence structure, but don't be afraid if you aren't sure of something! I will make light edits or provide comments for re-submission if necessary. 

​

Make sure to cite your sources by placing a number in parentheses () and then listing the source at the bottom of your entry, like this:

​

This source (1) says this.

1) Website link to source

​

Keep your draft in another document while you are writing it in case there is an issue with your submission.

​

Topics Allowed:

Anything related to reproductive care in Alabama.

The topic may affect more communities than just in Alabama, but the focus must be on the state as a whole or people in an Alabama community.

Topic ideas:

• Discuss maternal/infant mortality in your county, and research ways that people in your community are working to decrease these numbers. 

• Interview a community member about their birthing experience, making sure to highlight areas of excellence and areas to improve.

• Highlight a nonprofit who's doing great work in reproductive justice or advocacy, or a clinic that's doing a great job providing care!

• Write about any research you or someone you know is doing in the reproductive healthcare sphere.

• Examine access to care for marginalized populations, including but not limited to the LGBTQ+ community, racial/ethnic minority groups, or lower-income groups.

• ...Or anything else related to women's health!
