Thank you for wanting to contribute to The Health Sessions!
The Health Sessions wants to help people with chronic illness live a good life despite their health problems, by providing actionable, science-based advice to help you get one step closer to recovery, as well as cope well with the emotional, cognitive and practical problems that remain.
Our goal is to write helpful articles in a positive and encouraging tone, while always acknowledging the harsh reality of living with chronic illness. Our core themes are:
- Healthy lifestyle: Small, doable things you can do to work towards your own definition of ‘recovery’
- Coping (better) with the emotional and cognitive aspects of living with chronic illness
- How to practically get things done with chronic illness
- Living a happy and meaningful life despite chronic illness
WRITING GUIDELINES:
- Posts must be original for thehealthsessions.com. That means your post has not been published or submitted elsewhere online, including your personal blog, and will not be distributed on other websites without permission.
- Provide scientific sources for your health claims. If you mention that certain foods, exercises or habits are (un)healthy, share with us how you know, by adding links to trustworthy sources.
- Although The Health Sessions values science-based advice, please write your guest post in an approachable tone of voice. Address the reader with ‘you’, give real-life, relatable examples of what you’re trying to explain and make your tips actionable.
- Also keep in mind that most of our readers suffer from (chronic) health problems, so (part of your) tips must be doable for all kinds of energy levels.
- Feel free to link to relevant websites and blog posts (your own included) in a non-commercial way, but only when it’s helpful and of added value to the readers. Please reserve self-promotion of your business, products or service to you bio (as opposed to directly in the post).
- For transparency reasons, all guest posts will have the author’s name in the byline. The Health Sessions doesn’t allow ghost writing on the website.
