Lapidus Magazine
Do you have a story to tell, insights to share, or techniques to explore?
The Lapidus magazine invites you to contribute to our upcoming sixth issue, with our focus this time being on Grief and Relationships.
We welcome submissions from writers, poets, therapists, educators, and anyone with a passion for using writing as a tool for wellness. Whether it’s a personal essay, a thought-provoking article, creative work presented within the context of your practice, or a creative writing exercise, we want to hear from you.
What Are We Looking For?
Topics may include (but are not limited to):
Articles
- Personal experiences with therapeutic writing.
- Techniques and approaches for using writing in wellbeing practices.
- Reflections on the intersection of writing, creativity, and mental health.
- Insights into training, supervision, and professional development in the field.
- Focus on Grief and Relationships: poems, creative work, or memoir with commentary. (Note: While we appreciate poetry, we cannot accept stand-alone submissions, as Lapidus magazine is not a literary publication. Poems will be published in the context of therapeutic writing reflections and practice.)
Additional Opportunities to Publish
- Questions for our new regular column, ASK: Experts in the field provide advice based on their years of experience. Please send your questions to ASK@lapidus.org.uk.
- Readers’ Poems and Shorts: Letters and short pieces (~150 words) in any form, e.g. a reflection on personal or professional wellbeing practice, a poem, a description, or any other short piece that addresses a writing for wellbeing issue, theme, or event.
- Original artwork for which you hold copyright. Please supply digitally in .png or .jpg format.
Other Lapidus Publications
- If your article submission is research-based then you may consider submitting it to our sister publication the LIRIC Journal.
- If your submission is time-limited, such as publicity for an event or upcoming workshop, please submit it for inclusion in the Lapidus website and/or newsletter via this form.
