Background
Thank you for your continuing support to Nurse Author & Editor – an international publication dedicated to nurse authors, editors and reviewers.
Nurse Author & Editor was first published in 1991 and was founded by Suzanne Hall Johnson, who was its Editor for many years. It was published quarterly as a print publication and offered practical advice to the nursing community on writing, reviewing and editing. In 2003, after many years of continuous publication, EBSCO acquired Nurse Author & Editor, and appointed June Levy as Editor. Also available was the website www.nurseauthor.com that included a directory of nursing journals.
Nurse Author & Editor was transferred to Blackwell Publishing in 2006 and is now published quarterly as a free online publication at www.NurseAuthorEditor.com. Nurse Author & Editor will no longer be available as a print version but the publication will be available online from Volume 16. The publication will continue to reflect the needs of nurse authors, editors and reviewers. Each issue will consist of 2-3 articles offering advice on writing quality manuscripts, avoiding rejection, reviewing, editing and finding publishing opportunities in many different nursing journals. There will also be a section containing short articles to update readers on new developments in journal publishing.
In addition, www.NurseAuthorEditor.com will continue to host the directory of nursing journals.
Nurse Author & Editor is edited by Charon Pierson and supported by an international Editorial Board. Charon is currently the Editor for the Journal of the American Academy of Nurse Practitioners and was Founding Editor and Editor in Chief of Nurse Practitioner Forum. Charon has been instrumental in helping many authors publish their work and has taught many seminars and workshops on writing for publication.
