Title: Articles needed for CONTACT Spring 2018, Summer 2018 and the Fall issue of our magazine, The Illinois Counselor.

The Editors of the CONTACT newsletter are seeking articles for the Spring issue of 2018, published in early May. We need articles of general interest to the counseling profession that are informative or provide insight into the counseling field.

Submission deadline is February 28, 2018.

There are few things more satisfying than seeing something you have written in print. CONTACT uses 3 to 5 reader submitted articles per issue depending on space.
Please read the publication rules below before submitting.
If you have submitted in the past and your article was not published, please feel free to resubmit.
After you submit, please be patient as our review process can take a while. If your article is not used in the current edition, it may be that we did not have space. If you want it considered for the next issue, please let us know.
