Description
Experience Level: Expert
We publish a magazine aimed at disabled people and their families, carers and professionals working in the disability field.
Artice Length: 1000 words
Brief:
Our readers are active disabled people and their carers. They look to us to
provide them with information about appropriately adapted leisure activities.
With Winter approaching there's a tendency for people to spend less time outdoors. We'd like a feature which shows our readers how they can embrace the outdoors and lead an active life even during the colder months.
There are plenty of winter / snowsport options available for keeping active including skiing, snowboarding, sledging, ice-skating, ice hockey, curling
Please include notes on the different activities that can be undertaken by differently disabled people.
With each note – suggest any organisations that can support disabled people. (Ideally,
add details of similar organisations in Scotland as well, since we have a specific Scottish
edition too.)
Please note:
Please use any relevant stats, facts or figures – but make sure that they are
properly sourced.
Introduce your piece with a ‘lede’ paragraph of one or two sentences.
Keep paragraphs simple and compact (65 words max).
Make your point quickly. Who, what, when, where and how? These facts need to
be in the first portion of your submission.
Write to the reader. Our audience is primarily made up of disabled people and
their carers as well as healthcare professionals in the disability field.
Keep it positive. For example, regarding disability, we rarely say: “Suffering
from…” when we could say “Living with…” ‘We exist to inspire our readers
and empower them with ‘answers and solutions’.
Add any helpful information (at the end of your submission) such as telephone
numbers and web addresses of organisations relevant to the subject you have
written about. (Please no hyperlinks – they do not work in a printed publication.
Use reasonably short web URLs starting with www.)
Add any interesting/related facts, styled to small paragraph for us to use as
boxouts.
Please do not format your text, add lines, page-breaks or embed images.
