General: ASCA School Counselor runs feature articles dealing with trends, how-to topics and other issues of interest to school counselors. Articles should be educational in focus. They should be written in an informal, nuts-and-bolts style rather than in an academic journalese style. Articles will be edited and, in some cases, rewritten for clarity, style and brevity. ASCA School Counselor readers are school counselors working at all levels (elementary, middle/jr. high, secondary and postsecondary), as well as school counselor educators and school counseling students. Article topics should be oriented with this audience in mind.

Procedure: Prospective contributors should query the editor, Kathleen Rakestraw, with a description of the proposed article. The editor may request a one-page summary or outline prior to agreeing to read a manuscript. Do not submit completed manuscripts without first sending a query to the editor.

Note: Issue themes subject to change.
