WLN Resources
In addition to the WLN: A Journal of Writing Center Scholarship journal, the editorial team works to create additional resources for the community.
Digital Edited Collections
"The term DEC is meant to encapsulate what each DEC brings together—chapters on a particular topic, written by writing center scholars, reviewed by outside readers, refined in collaboration with editors, and available as open access on a digital platform. And because these DECs are digital, the authors have enriched them with links to more sources, graphics, video clips, and other multimodal documents that offer resources for you to read, watch, listen to, and learn from."
– Muriel Harris, Editor

Webinars
Periodically, WLN editors meet in real-time with prospective authors to discuss and workshop issues related to publishing in the journal. The following links lead to videos of past sessions.
In this first webinar in the WLN workshop series, Associate Editors Elizabeth Kleinfeld, Sohui Lee, and Julie Prebel provide general information about publishing in WLN and WLN's submission guidelines, acceptance rates, and author resources housed on the WLN website.
The second webinar presented by Elizabeth Kleinfeld, Sohui Lee, and Julie Prebel, covers strategies for drafting an article for WLN, including how to find time to write, how to understand the lit review process, and how to find or start a writing group.
In this third webinar, we focus on the "Call to Publish" step in the scholar's journey and identify three key topics for consideration when preparing to publish: being relevant to readers, meeting the scope of WLN, and offering appropriate methodology.
Hosted by Elizabeth Kleinfeld, Sohui Lee, and Julie Prebel, this webinar covers WLN expectations for Tutors' Column submissions, and how to research, structure, and revise an article.
