Columnists & Contributing Writers
Those who write consistently and exclusively for Nature’s Wisdom
are Columnists or Contributing Writers. Noted professionals in the community,
contributing writers have credentials and substantial experience. Both
Columnists and Contributing Writers receive a unique compensation package.
Note to All Writers
In the past we have received an awful lot of submissions that are actually advertisements or endorsements for a particular modality, practitioner or professional, rather than of a strictly informational quality. Please be aware that as the focus of Nature's Wisdom Magazine is, and always has been, to provide articles that will inform, educate, uplift, enhance or enlighten our readers, we will not print material with such references made repeatedly or blatantly. Should you find that in order to convey your message, you must refer to yourself, your book, your teacher or the founder of your modality, we ask that you do so in a modest way or consider listing such references in a footnote format.
Further Information for Our Thinking Readers
Readers often contact us to request more information on a topic that has appeared in our print magazine or on our web site. As this is a strong indication that our readers are thinking individuals who often yearn for more information after the closing sentence of an article, we suggest that our writers provide sources for their work and additional resource information, if appropriate, in the form of books, web sites, foundations or schools.
Guest Writers
Those who submit periodically or occassionally to Nature’s Wisdom are
Guest Writers. A Guest Writer is an established professional with training
and expertise that allows them to speak and discourse with authority.
Guest writers receive energy-style compensation as our thanks for their
contribution.
Article Contents and Guidelines
Submitted articles should be between
650-1200 words, although we will make exceptions of up to 2000 words
for an article we consider ultra-informative,
ultra-interesting, of importance or just plain fantastic.
Article content should be well researched and presented professionally,
with studies and/or findings referenced if appropriate. Each issue of
Nature's Wisdom contains a Glossray of Relevant Terms as a service to
our readers. Any terms you would like listed in this section should be
listed separately from the article. List resources and suggested reading
materials, if appropriate.
Guest Essayists
Guest Essayists typically have had a positive experience
or experiences with a form or forms of natural healing. Essays submitted
detail the essayist's personal experience and reflections. Essays are not intended
to teach or function as discourse. Essays are interest pieces and add
depth to Nature’s Wisdom, as personal connections are made. Guest Essayists
receive printed name acknowledgement for their submissions. Essays
should be between 500-900 words. Essays are often placed into our regular
Lifestyles & Perspectives
Column.
