Signpost is always on the lookout for new authors and whilst we cannot make payments to our contributors, we can offer a free year’s subscription to Signpost. Any article that is submitted will be read by the editorial team, and may be edited. You will be advised/consulted about any proposed changes.

Examples of articles to be found in Signpost.

Contributor's guidelines:-

• The word count for articles is approximately 1000-4000 (but this is flexible!)
• Client confidentiality is respected. Names and details are changed unless written permission is obtained to identify people.
• Photos or illustrations to accompany articles are welcomed, but photographs of clients must have signed client/carer consent.
• Preferably articles should  include a photograph of the contributor(s), and a three or four line personal introduction.
• Articles to be referenced using the Harvard system, e.g. O'Donovan (2001) 'Guidelines for Contributors', Signpost Journal, Vol. 10, No 5, 7-9
• Copyright of published articles belongs to Cardiff and Vale NHS Trust, but we are relaxed about photocopying of your work for internal distribution.
• Where possible, contributors should submit articles as both a hard copy and on disk or by e-mail to Signpost admin.
• Pictures should be submitted as either bitmaps or TIF format.

As a non-profit journal we are unable to offer financial payments, but we do offer all contributors a year’s free subscription to Signpost with our thanks.
