Settle in for a few paragraphs of shameless self-promotion. I’ve been lucky enough to get some writing gigs elsewhere over the last few weeks and I wanted to share links to them here. Some of the gigs were paid, and some I did out of the kindness of my attention seeking heart. However, all of them meant a lot to me, and I was honored to write each one of them. Also, I’m hoping you’ll make with the clicky-click, do some light reading, and then comment on them so the editors of these sites think people are interested in what I have to say. Then, they may extend more invitations to me. Yo, that’s how it works.
Over at ShePosts:
“Bloggers Move to Get Midwives Online”
I’m MOST excited about this article because this site is NOT AT ALL a birth junky/lactivist site, which means I am not over there preaching to the choir. This is a whole new audience of women who are generally more interested in what’s going down on the internet than researching the standard management of labor. In this post I’m able to bridge the social media interest with some birth activism, and I think it’s a testament to the inclusiveness of the ShePosts editors that I was able to put this kind of article on their site. I would love to see some more comments over there so the editors see that some people care about these issues, and let me write more things on that site.
On Dr. Greene: Perspectives
After my crazy-blown-up-breastfeeding-post, I got a lovely invitation to do a week’s worth of guest blogging over at DrGreene.com. Here are those articles:
- My VBAC Birth Story (the short version)
- How to Have a Better VBAC (Part 1)
- How to Have a Better VBAC (Part 2)
- There is No Such Thing as Free Infant Formula (this one got LOTS of comments!)
- Make Your Own Pop-up Cloth Wipes (an updated version of my famous demo)
For Mothers Day at RH Reality Check
“A Child is Born; A Mother is Born”
A little ditty about why we should be supporting and promoting better birth experiences for mothers.
On Savvy Source:
“How I Became a Pirate” book review
Here I contribute to the Offbeat Favorites section of the site, which focuses on toy and book reviews of items that aren’t quite mainstream (yet.)
Enjoy! And don’t forget to tune into my live radio show on Sunday night for my “Cloth Diapering is Cool” show. I’ll be announcing my BlogHer ’10 sponsor, and talking to Kim Rojas of Dirty Diaper Laundry about #OperationFluffy.
