Looking for some publicity?

This one comes from my good friend Amanda Vogel. Yes, the same Amanda Vogel who is a freelance writer who contributes to IDEA Fitness Journal, ACE Certified News, Fitness, Self, Cooking Light, Fit Pregnancy, Health and Shape. She is looking for articles from fitness professionals.

Here it is exactly as I received it from her.

Call for articles:

I edit a fitness column in an e-newsletter for a UK-based fitness association called Fitness Industry Education (FIE) (www.fitnessindustryeducation.com). The newsletter goes to about 20,000 fitness professionals around the world every week.

I am currently looking for articles that I can include in this e-newsletter. Is this a paying gig? Well, no. But here's how you benefit if I am able to use your article(s):

> You receive a professional edit of your article, which will increase its quality; you can use the edited version in your newsletters, on your website, in an e-book, in your press kit, etc. Plus, submitting the edited version to other editors increases your chances of getting it published as a reprint in magazines.

> You will likely get an insider tip or two about why your article query worked - or why it didn't. (See below for more on this.) Either way, the info you receive will help you achieve success with other media and writing opportunities.

> You get to promote your expertise, name/business name and article to tens of thousands of fitness pros.

> You get to include your bio at the end of your article with a link to your website.
WHAT'S THE E-NEWSLETTER?

The article I edit appears in one of FIE's affiliated weekly e-newsletters from a company called www.jumpybumpy.com. The article may also be posted on JumpyBumpy.com's website and/or FIE's website.

If you're interested HERE'S WHAT TO DO:

> Email me a short article proposal (i.e., query) for the topics you have in mind (email to: info@activevoice.ca). Remember that I need TRADE articles for your fitness colleagues, not for consumers. The website attracts a lot of group exercise instructors and personal trainers.

> I am looking for practical articles about any of the following topics: group exercise, group personal training, one-on-one personal training, program design, working with personal training clients, exercise selection, workout ideas, boot camp ideas, nutrition, working with special populations. Other ideas are welcome.

I can use some business-related articles, but I mostly need in-the-field information.

> Feel free to send proposals based on articles you have already written. In fact, I encourage it since this is not a paid assignment. Please ensure you have retained the right to have your article re-published in the JumpyBumpy.com e-newsletter. Preparing a query for an article that's already written is the same procedure as preparing a query for an article you haven't written yet. Just let me know it's a reprint and include where it's been published before.

> I am looking for articles of about 400 to 600 words. If yours is slightly longer, no problem. But be prepared for me to cut it down.

> You will get to approve the edited version before it goes "live" in the e-newsletter.

> Please don't send me the entire article; just a detailed proposal.
