Writing Opportunity: Martial Arts Enthusiasts | | Quote:
Tai Chi
articles may be a feature or interview about a style, self-defense
techniques, principles and philosophy, training methods, weapons,
case histories of benefits, or new or unusual uses for T'ai Chi
Ch'uan. Try to avoid profiles of teachers that focus just on their
many skills and accomplishments. Interviews with teachers or
personalities should focus on their unique or individual insight into
T'ai Chi Ch'uan, internal martial arts, qigong, or Traditional
Chinese Medicine rather than on their personal achievement or
ability, although their background can be woven into the article.
Examples of the uses could be teaching the disabled, teaching of T'ai
Chi Ch'uan in a corporate or medical environment, or martial
techniques. New approaches
to teaching or practice or the basic principles are almost always of
interest as long as it doesn't promote a particular teacher or
school. When planning and
writing the article ask yourself: Is the material new or fresh? Is it
useful to practitioners? Is it interesting?
Articles can be from 500 to 3500 words long or more. Payment can
range from $75.00 to $500.00, depending on the length and quality of
the article. This
includes payment for photos. Payment is for first North American
Serial rights only, usually within 30 days of publication. http://www.tai-chi.com/geninfo/guidelines.html | Good Luck! |
