CFP: Another Word, Writing Center Blog

Dear writing center colleagues,

Are you looking for a new home for your recent conference presentation?

Another Word, the award-winning writing center blog from the University of Wisconsin–Madison, is currently seeking proposals for blog posts to be published in 2025.

We are eager to accept proposals from those invested in writing center studies on a broad range of topics related to administering, tutoring, training, and working in the writing center. Your conference presentation could be a great fit for Another Word!

We welcome proposals of approximately 200 words addressing the topic of the post and its relevance to the larger writing center community. Successful proposals will (1) connect to broader conversations in the field, (2) offer a unique or underrepresented perspective or focus, and (3) clearly fit within the blog genre and our public audience.

If accepted, we will request a blog post that is approximately 1,000 to 1,500 words in length. In addition to the written text of the post, we will also ask authors to provide visual components as well. For all accepted posts, the editorial team will be happy to provide feedback, guidance, and mentoring along the way, as needed.

Proposals are due Sunday, December 1, 2024. Please submit proposals through our Google Form. Notification of acceptance will be sent out in December 2024. Publication of accepted posts will begin in the spring of 2025.

If you have any questions, please contact the editors (Ellen Cecil-Lemkin and Jenny Conrad) at anotherword.

Best,

Ellen
