Question: Why do you keep seeing the same names as the author on AMT blog articles?<\/strong><\/p>

Answer: Because we\u2019re waiting to hear about the article you want to write for the blog.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

How Do We Commission\nWriters?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Sometimes we spot someone expressing themselves well on\nsocial media, and approach them. Other times, we\u2019ve been approached with an\nidea for an article. Occasionally, we\u2019ve met someone at an AMT Conference and\ndiscovered they have knowledge on a topic AMT members would find interesting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since its inception in September 2017, AMT\u2019s blog has had 26\ndifferent authors. This is pretty damn magnificent but we aim high, and want to\nincrease the variety of authors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is where you come in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Massage therapists are talented individuals. We are\nphotographers, teachers, accountants, musicians, runners and researchers. We\nknow massage therapists want to share their knowledge, and want to help others.\nThat\u2019s why we know there are articles in them thar massage therapists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Got some writing\nability but no article ideas? <\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019re currently looking for case studies and treatment approaches for presenting conditions. We\u2019ve got some other topics we\u2019re looking for articles on too. Get in touch to find out more<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Got some article ideas\nbut not a lot of confidence with the writing side? <\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Not to fear, we\u2019ll work with you to get your ideas into great shape, providing direction and suggestions. Sometimes all you need is a helping hand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again:<\/p>

“The writing of an article is also a learning experience \u2013 either because you have to find the research and articles to support what you say or because you\u2019re learning a little bit more about yourself as a practitioner.<\/em>“<\/p>“Do You Want To Write For US?”, AMT blog, June 2018<\/a><\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Know someone who\nmight be interested in writing an article?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Please send us<\/a> their details, including why you think what they have to say will interest massage therapists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We’re not sure if this is a queue of article writers or a massage train.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMy writing\u2019s crap\nand I\u2019m not being modest\u201d<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Not everyone has the ability or inclination to write\narticles \u2013 some of us are happy being great massage therapists, and that\u2019s no\nbad thing. These are the people who read the blog articles, give us feedback\nand share the articles. You contribute more than you think you do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
