The Reflective Practitioner welcomes reflections, commentaries, and articles from clinicians, educators, community practitioners, students, and people with lived experience. You do not need to be an academic writer. You need to have something worth saying.

What we are looking for

A reflection, commentary, or article that answers one question: what do you know from your work with people that the rest of us need to hear?

Topics can include clinical practice, legal practice, professional life, cultural experience, education, supervision, community work, allied health, or any intersection of profession and humanity. If it is honest, grounded, and useful to someone working with people, it belongs here.

How it works

Pieces run between 500 and 1,200 words. Language should be accessible — written for a thoughtful professional reader, not an academic journal reviewer. Jargon should be explained or avoided. Vignettes and real examples are welcome.

If you have an idea but are not sure how to shape it into a piece, reach out. The editor is happy to work with contributors to develop ideas through conversation.
