Im really excited about the interest level with regards to MizFit Mag.
The writer guidelines/ad rates will be posted this week, however, a few of you have indicated you wanna use TODAY to write so here’s the short version for now:
*Any healthy lifestyle topic (from running to recipe. from BOSU to book review.). Would you blog about it? Would you wanna read about it on a blog? There ya go!
*Dont fret about length. We may need to trim for space but write away…
*YES you may include pictures. Attach pictures to email along with WORD DOCUMENT and indicate in email where you’d prefer theyd go (we are subject to layout constraints but at least we’ll know).
*When you submit document send it to (NEW! ADDRESS! ALERT!) submissions@carlabirnberg.com . Please send a finished file including a 3 sentence bio & any links youd like included.
*Deadline for this issue/subsequent issues will be the tenth of the month (APRIL 10th).
Questions? Wait for the guidelines to be posted or hit me up below!
As I’d mentioned before 100% of this relies on advertisers being willing to step up & place ads so that I can keep this FREE for you.
We’ve already had companies sign on (I say we because Ive had a generous woman offer to take over all the layout duties. Introduction forthcoming…) so it looks promising.
Next?
Are you on TWITTER? (If you are/dont yet follow me @carlabirnberg!)
LOOK WHO JUST JOINED US THERE!
Please to follow her/welcome her at @oisellerunning
I dragged her into twitterville now lets show her how fun it can be.
That’s it here, Oh Bumbling Band.
Springing forward hath duly kicked my arse & Im off for more coffee. You?
Have a great Sunday & I’ll see you tomorrow for a unique week filled with simultaneous postings of a video nature.
(cue music fraught with suspense)

Git to submitting, Girlfriend.

March 8, 2009 at 5:12 amI’m so impressed that you are attempting this. I, too, blog and if companies wont spend a little money to show they are invested in maintaining our free promotion of their products that will tremendously disappoint me.
Moran says
March 8, 2009 at 5:23 amThis is SO very exciting Miz!!!
I am REALLY considering this now!
Bea says
March 8, 2009 at 5:30 amAnything anything?
I’m thinking about writing up my favorite recipe.
Is that enough or do I need more to make it a submission?
Coach Jenn says
March 8, 2009 at 6:18 amI would love to supply an article. Perhaps my own before and after story. I’ll hit you up with an email too.
MizFit says
March 8, 2009 at 6:35 amBea? A recipe would be perfect. Even better? MAKE IT YOURS. Why you like it. When you like it. How you found or created it. How it aided in your body transformation (if it did).
Make it a recipe & YOU all in the same piece (similar to the Thursday guest posts if you wanna skim a few of those).
THANKS!

Evan says
March 8, 2009 at 6:50 amI need to get on Twitter I just know Id waste more time during the day there than I do reading blogs/on FB.
Annette says
March 8, 2009 at 7:45 amyep the springing forward…………seems like it gets harder the older I get. Usually at this time on Sunday we are on our way to church but we’ve decided to go the later one today……..sleepy mommy……….second cup of coffee………hubby still sleeps!

Amy says
March 8, 2009 at 9:38 amYour mag sounds uber fun. Glad I checked in this weekend to see what was new, plus I went back through the week and how fun was it of ren man to make his debut?! You’re keeping us on our toes miz!
Sherre says
March 8, 2009 at 10:05 amI’m VERY excited about this new upcoming source of motivation (just as carlabirnberg provides tremendous inspiration).
Sagan says
March 8, 2009 at 10:26 amOoh good, am glad there’s a bit of time to mull things over and get some stuff together before submitting. Unfortunately university is getting in the way of my writing (jeez, what’s with that?). 🙂
Thanks for the update!
Jana says
March 8, 2009 at 10:30 amI’m excited for this week!!

Diana says

chiarunner says
March 8, 2009 at 1:56 pmYou’re just a twitter animal girlfriend! Can’t wait for the new mag!
Linda says
March 8, 2009 at 1:59 pmOhhhh, Fun!
I have spring ahead lag as well. We are getting snow in giant, I mean GIANT flakes. Baddy-bad news is that it’s falling on top of sleet which fell on rain which is all going to freeze and create an ugly mess. Bah.
We made chili here today. Also made turkey/gr.round WW super nacho meat with mashed black beans (shhh, don’t tell the Hugh.)
I introduced the Hugh to McDonalds yogurt parfait yesterday. We’ll be making those for tonight’s dessert. YUM!
Strong One says
March 8, 2009 at 2:12 pmLooking forward to the details!!! (biting nails frantically)
Evie says
March 8, 2009 at 2:53 pmWhat’s coming this week???
You can’t leave me hanging!! 🙂
Katie says
March 8, 2009 at 3:28 pmMiz, I’m excited about the potential of the magazine but have to remind you about what you always say to us: don’t forget your other visions!
Will this take the place of you writing a book?
Remember the vision board.
Katie
Marianne says
March 8, 2009 at 6:28 pmIn my case it was stumble forward. So out of it that I did not think clearly before having my Sunday school class make drums, shakers, tambourines and megaphones. Note to self, and anyone else: If you ask a bunch of 5/6 year old boys to make megaphones? Be prepared for them to be THE LOUDEST in your band. The other teachers must think I’m crazy…
Amanda says
March 8, 2009 at 8:15 pmspringing forward really has confused me!
so glad there is such great interest in the mag
SallyB says
March 8, 2009 at 8:27 pmI want to read the mag.
I want to advertise in the mag.
I want to see, hear, learn from you and the BB.
Thank you for the warm welcome to Twitter!
As a little “thank you” to you and the BB, I just set up a discount code on the Oiselle site (http://www.oisellerunning.com). We’re clearing out all the 08 product, so if you care to spice up your apparel for spring, the BB can enter “mizfit” on the last page of checkout and get 30% off ALL products in our shop (In some cases, that’s shorts for $14!). As you say…please to enjoy! 🙂
Brianna says
March 9, 2009 at 3:06 pmSo very, very exciting, Miz! Looking forward to those ad rates and maybe even a chance to write something fun for an upcoming issue. You’re still looking for contributors, right?
And how cool that I’m posting after my favorite designer gal, Sally – and see her MOST GENEROUS offer on the BB discount. Sweet!
New shorts and a shirt will be fabuloso for when this snow goes AWAY and I can get out for an outdoor run again! Though I have to be positive and say that right now it looks as if we’re living in a snowglobe, which is truly beautiful and delightful. 🙂
