Dear Writing Center friends
The WLN editorial team is delighted to announce the third and final issue of the year. Volume 50 Issue 3 (2026) of WLN: A Journal of Writing Center Scholarship is now available. We are open access! The full issue is here: https://wacclearinghouse.org/wln/
This special issue, "Tutors’ Voices in Practice," amplifies WLN as a venue that has long centered tutors’ experiences. This special issue honors WLN’s 50th anniversary and, in particular, our Editor-in-Chief Mickey Harris, for her codification of the Tutors’ Column as a regularly featured and widely impactful section of WLN. This issue is additionally special as it was co-edited by a team of writing center tutors from Queens College, City University of New York. Some of this editorial team also co-wrote the Editors’ Note. Here are links to each of the individual chapters:
Editors’ Note, by August Rayne Bacchus, Andrea Efthymiou, Lianna Lazaros, Denique Noel, Rucha Pradhan, Annalee Roustio, and Natalie Sanchez
