“End the Neglect,” the official blog for the Global Network for Neglected Tropical Diseases is looking for blog contributions from professionals and students in the global health/development field.

The Global Network launched the “End the Neglect” blog to serve as a broad, transparent platform through which we as a community can continue to raise the profile of neglected tropical diseases (NTDs) and disseminate stories from the field. End the Neglect is a vital education resource that informs readers of the devastating impact of NTDs and the simple and cost-effective interventions available.

While “End the Neglect” specifically focuses on NTDs, we are also interested in highlighting bloggers with a broader global health perspective. Success stories, personal stories/testimonials from the field, photos, and video are all welcome!

We accept submissions on a rolling basis. If you are interested in blogging for us, please send a writing sample of no more than 500 words and a brief background of your work/educational experience to us using the green “Contact” to the right of the page.

Our blog post submission guidelines are as follows:

• Keep length of posts between 500-700 words
• Include links to sites or articles that supplement your topic
• When quoting other blogs or publications in your post, please link to the original material if possible, and denote quoted material using quotation marks.
• Submit a brief biography (2-3 lines) and a photo for inclusion with your post.
• We appreciate suggestions for images to accompany posts. If you have photos available for publication, please submit them along with your post and include caption information and attribution information.
• If you don’t have images available, we will add one from our own photo stocks or from publicly available resources including Flickr or the CDC’s Public Health Image Library
• We encourage you to email your post to colleagues and friends to encourage comment and discussion
• Publication of posts is at the discretion of the Global Network, based on relevance of the subject matter as related to neglected tropical diseases and other global health issues.
