Looking to Submit to the Lapidus Magazine?

The new Lapidus Magazine is published online in a magazine format offering a platform for Lapidus members and others in the world of writing for wellbeing. It is a place to share ideas, challenges and successes. There is a Creative Space for original creative writing from our members and a Breathing Space for all things wellbeing. We’ll bring news to you internationally, nationally and regionally from Lapidus members and others involved in therapeutic writing and arts. Colour photos, films and illustrations will create a fresh and visually appealing publication.

CONTENT

You may like to consider the following areas:

-   Projects you have been involved with, as practitioners or participants.

-   Letters and reflections on articles in the magazine

-   Podcasts and videos by practitioners in the field

-   Poems with commentary on the work, in written or video format. Please note that we cannot accept stand-alone poetry as this is not a literary magazine. Poems will be published in the context of therapeutic writing reflections and practice.

-   Training, supervision and professional development in the field.

-   Activities that you have engaged with or facilitated during a workshop.

-   Sharing your successes and your challenges.

-   Creative work and memoir that has come out of writing for wellbeing.

-   ‘Survivor-led’ writings and reflections

-   Reviews of recent books and creative publications.

-   Other wellbeing activities that you integrate into your practice or undertake yourself.

If you have an idea not covered here, please do get in touch for a chat.
