Guest Contributions
We are happy to consider publishing articles about your work or to share your insights.
Some guidelines – your article:
- Must be about Scotland and for a predominantly Scottish audience
- Should be in the name of a person not simply a spokesperson or organisation
- Should be constructive – feel free to explain the problem but also talk about what best health or care or research looks like and how to get there
- Should be between 600 and 800 words long
- Should not be simply plugging a service or product – there’s a link to our media pack for that above.
We cannot pay for contributions and journalism as we don’t even cover our own costs at the moment!
