Writing in Education: Call for Submissions

The submissions window for Issue 99 of Writing in Education is now open and runs until midnight, August 21, 2026.

The aim of this magazine is to explore the work of writers and teachers in educational and community contexts. Its purpose is to assist the peer learning of NAWE members and their colleagues.

We invite NAWE members to write on the subject of creative writing in education - in schools, adult education and tertiary 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 any educational setting. 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. 

You do not, though, have to wait for submission windows to talk about an idea with editor William Gallagher. Email him on publications@nawe.co.uk

Articles are submitted via the Submittable button below. To submit an article to Writing in Education, though, do please first refer to the submission guidelines downloadable at the foot of this page. Please note: submissions that fail to follow the guidelines may be ignored.

Reviews

Books for review should be sent directly to the Reviews Editor, c/o NAWE Tower House, Mill Lane, Off Askham Fields Lane, Askham Bryan, York, YO23 3FS. Publishers are reminded that Writing in Education does not normally carry reviews of individual works of fiction or poetry except when these have clearly resulted from a residency. 

Interested in writing reviews? Books range from those focusing on the craft of writing to poetry collections - and the book is yours to keep once the review is submitted! Please contact Matthew Tett, Reviews Editor reviews@nawe.co.uk if interested.

NAWE members are reminded to send news of their new publications as well as of any prizes and awards to the office for featuring on our website and in the magazine, space permitting. News items should be emailed to publications@nawe.co.uk     

Please note that the individual contributions to this journal do not necessarily represent the views of NAWE or even the majority of its members. We welcome responses to any of the articles and reviews including those which would seem to offer contentious opinions.
