Become a Contributor!

The Maternity Nurse Magazine is not a blog; therefore we prefer not to publish personal stories. Rather, we look for informative, and educational contributions full of engaging content that can remain relevant to our community through time. If you have some expert advice to offer, insight into something you see going on in the world of infant care and the Maternity Nurse profession, tips about juggling life as a Maternity Nurse or Infant care specialist roles, or perhaps some ideas about trends in raising babies and infant care and working in this profession, or even a parent that has experience of booking in-home private childcare, then we’d love for you to become a contributor for The Maternity Nurse Magazine as a one off contributor or one of our go to advisors!

If you are looking to write a personal feature to promote your services or business, head on over to the advertising page where you will find information on advertising options.

​

Please note that we will not publish purely self-promotional articles, content that promotes businesses you own, or businesses that have hired you to write about them as a contributor. We aim to take an unbiased view point and aim to give honest opinions and information.

If you would like to promote your business or services we have a classified and business section for you.

 

If your guest post meets our criteria for publication, we will include your relevant business link in our contributor thanks page but not in the body of the article itself.

Why should I write for The Maternity Nurse Magazine?
The Maternity Nurse Magazine provides an audience of Parents, Maternity Nurses, Infant Care Professionals & Prospective Clients for you to share information about your expertise and profession.

​

All Magazine issues are posted on Facebook, Instagram, any sponsors, The Maternity Nurse Magazine Website and The National Nursery Examination Board Old Collegians Facebook page and group.

 

You may use your personal social media and website to promote links to any of your  contributing articles for Maternity Nurse Magazine and to build a fan base and readership within The Maternity Nurse Magazine community, after the article is published in The Maternity Nurse Magazine.

Additionally, if a contributor writer has submitted several high-quality articles, we may then invite you to become a paid guest writer for future editions.
