Writing for NHRI

We receive a number of inquiries about writing for the NHRI.  We have a good staff of writers, but can sometimes use articles, if they meet our criteria.  Presently we are only interested in specific experiments that have been done, rather than theories or opinions.

Compensation is $50.00 per article and a link to the website of the author is permitted, which can benefit practitioners.
