Long Feature Article – 2,500 words
Feature articles in The ASHA Leader explore a number of clinical and research topics in audiology and speech-language pathology. Complete the article proposal questionnaire below so that we may evaluate your proposal. Send proposals to Marat Moore, managing editor, at mmoore@asha.org. Keep in mind that at The ASHA Leader, we view our publication as the intersection of research and practice: We ask for key citations as well as practical tips that working clinicians can put to use.
Feature articles may include sidebars and references (in APA style). The Leader encourages authors to submit photographs to illustrate the article so that our team can develop a magazine-style page design for the story. Please indicate in your proposal whether you will be submitting photos, charts, or graphs with the story. The proposal will be reviewed by ASHA staff with a relevant content background as well as our editorial team, and we will let you know whether we plan to publish the article.
