For submission consideration to any of these sections, authors are invited to email the appropriate contributing editor with their suggested article topic for consideration. For submissions falling outside of these general categories, authors are invited to email their article topics (outline) to Senior Editor Tanta Myles

For full contact information for the contributing or co-editors, please go to the Editors page.

Please refer to the APA Publication Manual or the link above for specifics.
