Bloggers Wanted

KarateTraining.org is looking to expand the world of Martial Arts blogging. We envision an author-driven site that is more than an online component to our exisiting services, but an entity unto itself. KarateTraining.org is looking for a stable of talented, engaged writers who are willing to commit to one post a week, on a set day. As an KarateTraining.org blogger, you would represent the interests of all martial artists while having the opportunity to develop your own voice and audience. Your content would have to be written specifically for the blog, no reprinting from other sources or heavy reliance on quotes from other’s work. We are looking for fresh, relevant, timely commentary and news about topics related to the Martial Arts, from the people who live and train on a regular basis.
In the world of blogging, it is update or perish. As such, we’re asking for writers who will definitively commit to one post a week, of a standard length of 250-500 words. Writers who cannot meet this requirement can still write for the blog as guests, but to be part of the collective the weekly requirement will be strictly adhered to. Succinctness and an engaging, accessible writing style are important. Good posts offer up information and opinions in an informal tone, without being pedantic or overly academic. Because blog posts will not be vetted by an editorial board before going up on the site, it is important that the writer have a strong sense of responsibility for his/her work. We are interested in your connection and involvement to Martial Arts communities, not in personal attacks or rhetoric. Be prepared to defend your work and it’s accuracy, there will be no fact-checkers other than yourself.
If you are interested in contributing to the KarateTraining.org blog project, please contact us Sensei_AT_KarateTraining.org ASAP. Please submit a sample of writing to us of the typical blog length, 250-500 words, so we can get a sense of your writing style. Individual Blog space is available for those wishing to post daily.
Thanks! KarateTraining.org staff
