Submissions open until August 26, 2024.

We invite NAWE members to write on the subject of creative writing in education - in schools, adult education and community settings. We encourage you to think broadly on this topic and address any issue relating to the development of a space for creative writing in the education system. Please note, it is developmental work that we wish to highlight, not self-promotion. It may be useful to think about the kinds of articles most useful to your teaching and practice. 

Please ensure that you have read the submission guidelines, available here.

Submissions that ignore these guidelines may be dismissed.

Submissions for Volume 11 are currently invited, with a deadline currently set for midnight (GMT) 17th January 2025.

We are looking for articles that explore the art of imaginative writing of all kinds, from an authorial perspective, highlighting and evolving current academic thinking and practice. Creative Writing itself is welcomed when integral to an article. We are looking for academically rigorous research into creative writing, appropriately referenced and engagingly written.  We are happy to receive articles that reflect on practice and process, explore writing research in interdisciplinary contexts, engage in critical analysis of writing pedagogy, explore cultural and global challenges such as diversity and inclusion and ecological sustainability through creative writing.

Submissions should be in the region of 4000–10,000 words, and include an abstract of up to 200 words. A biographical note of up to 200 words should be provided via Submittable, but not included in the document that is the submitted article. All submissions will be peer reviewed, with feedback given by in Spring 2024. A document giving full submission guidelines, together with a style guide, is available at: https://www.nawe.co.uk/writing-in-education/writing-at-university/writing-in-practice/submissions.html 

Please note: submissions that ignore these guidelines may not be considered.
