Manuscript Editing for Child Welfare Journal Articles

Order Manuscript Editing The Child Welfare League of America publishes Child Welfare: Journal of Policy, Practice, and Program. It takes manuscripts that extend knowledge in child and family welfare and related services, from administration and casework to research and social policy, and it links research with practice, policy, and program development.

Manuscripts follow the APA Publication Manual, 7th edition, and open with a brief abstract. Authors submit through CWLA's online form and email a copy to the journal. Off the Grid Editing prepares manuscripts in APA 7 and edits until the implications for practice and policy are explicit.
