Submit an article to Northfield Journal

We welcome teachers, tutors, researchers, coaches, school leaders, counselors, and informed practitioners. The strongest submissions have a distinct point of view and something real to say.

What the editor is looking for

  • Send original work only. We do not accept recycled, spun, ghost-generated, or previously published articles.
  • Aim for 1,200 to 2,500 words with a clear point of view, useful examples, and a strong editorial angle.
  • Back claims with lived experience, classroom practice, reporting, or credible sources.
  • Write like a practitioner or editor, not a content mill. We prefer specificity over filler.
  • Avoid overt self-promotion. One relevant bio link is fine; sales copy is not.
  • Education topics only: student success, teaching craft, edtech, higher education, school systems, scholarships, careers, and academic writing.

Before you hit submit

Bring a clear thesis, not a vague topic.

Use examples, screenshots, anecdotes, or sources that make the piece feel lived-in.

Strip out filler, keyword stuffing, and generic intros.

Submissions are reviewed before publication.
