Manuscripts should focus on descriptions of practice connecting children and literature in ways that promote intercultural understanding. We especially welcome submissions by classroom teachers and educators.
Submit your manuscript now using our on-line form.
Manuscripts should:

- Take the form of a story or vignette that one educator might tell to another to share the responses of students to literature.
- Include children’s voices where appropriate through quotes of student talk, examples of student work, audio clips, or video clips.
- Include charts, graphs, children’s artifacts, bulleted points, and/or figures wherever possible to vary the format and enhance the content of the article.

As an electronic journal, WOW Stories can accommodate audio/visual clips as part of teacher vignettes. We particularly invite manuscripts written as a story that one educator might tell to another to share the ways in which students engaged with literature.
