Submission Guidelines
Trauma Psychology News (TPN) offers a venue for your work to be seen by Division 56 members, trauma psychologists, students, and the general public. Our newsletter gets hundreds of views each week.
Please consider submitting or sharing this message with others.
The Newsletter Editorial Team is committed to working with authors on any revisions and resubmissions to develop a publishable piece, at their discretion.
Authors may submit multiple works concurrently. However, please note that we limit selecting submissions for publication from individual authors to 2 per publication year, with 1 maximum per issue, in order to provide space to expand the diversity of authors. Thank you for your understanding!
If you have any questions or comments, please reach out to the Trauma Psychology Editorial Trio.
