Publishing and Marketing Opportunities

Material published in Children’s Voice falls into two categories: Features and Departments. Features are relatively in-depth treatments of issues and events that affect children, youth, and families and those who work with them or on their behalf. The tone is feature-oriented — professional but informal.

CWLA publications, program, and policy staff, as well as experts and professionals in child welfare and related fields, write feature articles.  To submit an article, please first send a query letter to Rachel Adams, editor, at voice@cwla.org.

Launched in 1921, Child Welfare is a scholarly, research-driven, peer-reviewed bimonthly journal that links the latest findings in child welfare and related research with best practice, policy, and program development. Submissions are accepted only via our online submissions form.

CWLA publishes textbooks, curricula, studies, and children’s books related to child welfare issues, policies, programs, and practices. Send book proposals and all other editorial/publications questions to Rachel Adams, Editor, at radams@cwla.org.

We offer many ways to reach child and family experts at their ultimate point of purchase. Consider advertising in our signature publications, Children’s Voice and Child Welfare, and/or sponsoring a special issue. Or take advantage of our online advertising opportunities on our website or in our monthly e-newsletter, The Networker (readership 20,000+).
