Writer Guidelines for The Nexus
We are committed to providing our practicing social work members relevant and timely product and resource information in our quarterly newsletter, The Nexus. We seek authors to write articles on a range of topics of interest to our members, according to the following guidelines:
Topics

Ideas for topics might include new practice modalities, new clinical research, case studies, or how social workers might address prominent social issues.
We also seek contributions related to diversity/cultural competency, advocacy and social justice, ethics and private practice.
Style Recommendations
Creative, evocative, and humorous yet thought-provoking content is appreciated.
We prefer articles that provide comprehensive information in a succinct manner. This should include brief vibrant paragraphs, the avoidance of jargon and overly complicated terminology, clear and concise sentences, and when necessary bulleted or listed items. In-text citations should be used, with no more than five references. Resource lists may be included.
Article Length
Suggested article length is between 350 to 1,000 words. All articles must be submitted in a Microsoft Word document to .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address).
