Writing for Publication
Below you will find several resources to get you started in the world of "writing for publication." Review these resources to help you get started. You should also review the Advanced Practice journals in the Library for a journal that suits your writing style. I have provided some links in the next section to popular NP journals that provides links to the Author Guidelines for each. Of course, you may choose other journals but remember, they must be peer-reviewed journals such as the one for your professional organization such as CCRN, Home Care Nursing, ER Journal, etc. Make use of the writing lab to assist you with grammar, syntax and style. Good Luck in your endeavor.
