23.01.2022 As you may have heard, Australia's Right to Food Coalition has a NEW WEBSITE LAUNCHING SOON and we are inviting YOU to contribute to our new blog! If you would like to write for us, but are feeling a bit stumped as to what you would like to write about, we thought we would help you out and share some food for thought here! Please don't feel limited by this list, as we want to hear your ideas, your perspective and your voice! ... PS. We are so excited about the blog pitches we have received so far, and we cannot wait to read your submissions! If you haven't got around to emailing us yet, DON'T PANIC! If you want to write for us, please send us an email at [email protected]. A few other things to note: 1. We are not all research academics, so we we invite you to write in a way which everybody can understand! Keep it real. Keep it conversational. And in case you haven't heard, we're a big fan of subheadings to make everything nice and easy to read! 2. We would love for you to please hyperlink to your references and resources where possible. The use of an academic referencing style is not required (Phew!) 3. As a guide we encourage blog posts submissions to be between 500 1000 words, but we also welcome the submission of a longer piece if you feel this will do your topic justice. 4. Give your blog a juicy title - and make sure you have copyright of all creative commons images, or feel free to supply your own! If you have any questions for us flick us an email, or ask away in the comments below! (We don't bite!)
