ounseling in the college setting comprises preventive, developmental, and psychotherapeutic services, as well as consultation, supervision, and teaching. The college counseling field responds to continual changes in client demographics, contemporary practices, counseling center mission, and institutional direction. Professional conversation about the issues college counselors face and the practices they use allows them to more effectively adapt to these changing contexts. The Journal of College Counseling (JCC) publishes critical examinations of pressing professional concerns and descriptions of newly emerging practices. Professional Issues and Innovative Practice submissions allow college counselors an avenue for sharing within the professional community and making a contribution to the scholarly literature. The purpose of this article is to provide suggestions on how to communicate successfully when writing manuscripts for the Professional Issues and Innovative Practice sections.
