Become a Nutrition Elevated Blog Contributor!

February 18th, 2020


As you may know, Nutrition Elevated is written by and for dietitians. We write about dietitian, NDTR, and dietetic student experiences as well as sharing interesting and relevant information for Utah nutrition professionals. This means that there are plenty of opportunities for YOU to contribute to our blog!

The topics you write about should be geared toward our fellow Utah dietitians and nutrition professionals—not the general public. Ideally, you are writing about a topic that is specific to your specialty area and expertise, however, we also enjoy reading about more self-reflective topics. For example, have you had a recent experience that was a learning moment for you? Or have you attended a conference or seminar that has influenced your practice? These are all things that you can write about and that other dietitians can benefit from!

Not sure yet if blog contributing is for you? Here are some benefits to writing for Nutrition Elevated: 

 

  • Highlight your private practice and/or personal blog—Write about what you’re doing, why you love it, and what others can learn from it

 

  • Write about and promote a nutrition topic you are passionate about—Is nutrition entrepreneurship your passion? Or maybe it’s nutrition support? The possibilities are endless!

 

  • Increase your writing portfolio and gain valuable writing experience—An opportunity to gain writing experience in a volunteer setting and break into freelance writing

 

Our blog guidelines can be found here and include some content and topic ideas to use as a starting point. We hope you take the opportunity and become a Nutrition Elevated Blog Contributor!
