Aims & Scope

Leaf Journal seeks to publish articles in the English language which fall within our aims and scope. Namely, articles on creative writing for children which are practice-based, or practice-led, or articles where the study of children’s literature has a writerly application. Put simply, we mean that if, while writing or studying children’s books, you have noticed something which would be useful for other creative writers, you might decide to share that ‘something’ by writing a piece for us. We do not accept articles which fall more comfortably under English Literature's purview . You should read a few of our published articles to see what sort of content we are interested in.
