The call for contributions closed on 9 June. Thank you for all the submissions.
The issue will be published September/October 2023.
Have you ever heard the phrase “Teamwork makes the dream work”? To some of us, plain language is already a reality, but for others it’s still a dream. And in order to turn that dream into an everyday tool and civil right, we need to find and work with teammates to help us grow this global movement.
The next issue of PLAIN’s e-journal will focus on collaboration.
We are looking for contributions from colleagues around the world who have perspectives to share on working with others in the plain language field. Articles could cover any aspect of this, such as:
- essential collaborations in plain language work
- unlikely/surprising collaborations in plain language work
- opportunities for collaboration in plain language work
- how to nurture a collaborative working environment for plain language projects
- how to find collaborators
- case studies of projects that relied on collaboration.
We also welcome ideas for interviews with experts and book reviews that are relevant to this topic.
Articles should be short pieces of 800 to 1,000 words. They are all published in English, although we prefer to include a second version in the author’s own language where that is not English.
We aim to include a broad range of perspectives on this topic across different regions, industries, and practices. You do not have to be a member to contribute to the e-journal, but members’ submissions will be prioritized.
