Every so often, I'm asked where people can read my articles or posts. I've been writing online since the 90s, so there's a lot out there, but here are some of the places where you will find me most often.
First is a bit of an announcement: I'm a new contributor to Forbes.com. You can follow me and be informed of new posts by
clicking on the "follow" button by my name. I'll be writing five columns/posts per month for them and my first was posted yesterday afternoon. It's quite timely in some parts of North America (and Europe) because of the topic:
Summer Dehydration Can Kill: How To Keep Your Children Safe.
Several years ago, I was a writer for HealthDay News. I began writing for them again recently, so not only will you find pieces on their site, you may find some on news sites that pick up the HealthDay feed. One from a couple of weeks ago was a possible obesity and migraine link:
Obesity May Boost Migraine Odds.
Over at
ThirdAge.com, they sometimes ask for permission to repost some of my blog posts from here. I usually agree because the topics they are interested in are near and dear to my heart, usually safety related. I sometimes write quick pieces for them too. The most recent ones are part of a series that describe the different roles of healthcare providers.
I've been published in print magazines as well and many of these have an online presence. I'll have another piece in the next issue of the US
Costco Connection. Sometimes these pieces are picked up by editions in other countries. A couple of years ago, I wrote a piece about the
health benefits of potatoes. Several months later, I received a copy of the Korean CC - all in Korean, except for my article, which was reprinted there in English. That was a fun find. Recently, I was published in
Alive magazine, which is also available online. This article was a fun one to write. It's on the importance of
getting a properly fitting bra.
And then there is the older stuff but pieces I still like. I wrote an essay-type piece for NursingLink a few years ago:
Every Patient Has a Story. I still like that piece as I do another one I wrote for them, on the
importance of health literacy.
As you can see, I'm all over the place with health writing. I've also written a few articles that appeared in the print magazine
The Quilter, Montreal Home, and
Jobboom. It's fun to get outside of health writing sometimes.
So, there are some of the places you can find me. And thanks for reading this blog. It's what helped spark so many of my opportunities.
