Clinicians working on the frontlines of lactation support hold a wealth of insight, innovation, and practical wisdom—yet many hesitate to share their knowledge through publication. This interactive workshop, led by the JHL Editor-in-Chief and Deputy Editor-in-Chief with other JHL editors, is designed to demystify the publication process and inspire confidence among practicing IBCLCs and other clinicians to contribute case studies, clinical reflections, and clinical innovations to JHL.
Participants will gain a clear understanding of what makes a compelling submission and why their perspective is essential to advancing the field of lactation. Through hands-on activities, attendees will brainstorm meaningful clinical experiences from their own practice, draft the beginnings of a case report or clinical brief using a guided template, and will have the option to receive real-time feedback and encouragement. JHL editors will offer insider tips on what they look for in submissions and will be available for informal “pitch consults” to help attendees shape their ideas into potential publications.
Attendees will leave with a toolkit of submission guidelines, example articles, writing templates, and a renewed sense of purpose as contributors to the clinical knowledge base. Whether you've never published before or just need a push to get started again, this session is designed to fast-track your clinical experience into published impact.
