NAWE MAGAZINE

The NAWE magazine, Writing in Education, is published three times a year and covers the full range of our members' activity - in schools, universities and community contexts. There are sections of this website for each of these three areas, though of course they overlap.

The latest issue (Number 49), edited by Paul Munden, was made available to all conference delegates and is being mailed to all other members. The next edition will feature articles relating to the conference, and the deadline for submissions is 14 February 2010.  Click here for further details and full Submissions Guidelines.

Nine partner schools were involved, with Liz Fincham as Project Manager and Nick Owen as Researcher.
