What to submit to Literacies

We welcome writing in various genres, including questions, reflections, letters, e-mail conversations, short articles, stories and poetry. We also welcome longer, more formal articles.

Each issue of the journal will include the following sections:

focus on... (articles up to 3000 words)

This section is theme-based. The theme is also the topic for the web forum.

This section can include:

  • formal or informal studies, interviews, accounts of personal experience, reflections, fiction, art, etc., by practitioners, academic or professional researchers that connect with theory, research and/or practice and the theme for that issue (to see upcoming themes, check our editorial schedule on the overview page)
  • articles that express positions and arguments on the theme

For examples of articles that have appeared in the Literacies Focus On... section, please see the readers page.

The articles and interviews in this section are published online at the same time as the release of the print journal.

 

practice: reports, reflections, analysis (up to 3000 words)

This section is not theme-based.

This section can include:

  • formal or informal studies, interviews, reflections, fiction, art, etc., by practitioners, academic or professional researchers that connect with theory, research and/or practice

  • responses to or critiques of research or analysis that we publish
  • accounts of personal experience, reflections, exchanges of letters or edited conversations between people involved in literacy practice and research
