Complex Child E-Magazine is also actively soliciting articles related to any aspect of caring for a child with special health care needs.  While many articles are medical in nature, we also include personal stories, commentaries or editorials, and information about caregiving, education, and advocacy.

Complex Child's mission is to provide medical information and other information related to children with complex medical issues in simple language.  Articles are written by parents, guardians, grandparents, or other relatives for the benefit of other parents in similar situations.  Articles by children and young adults with disabilities or complex medical issues will also be accepted. Each month, a new edition is published, and all articles are subsequently archived by topic for reference. 

You do not need to have any experience as a writer to submit an article.  All you need is experience as a parent or other family member of a child with complex medical needs.  All articles will be edited for grammar, spelling, and accuracy before publishing.  Your article can be as short as 50 words, or as long as it needs to be.  You may choose to write an article every month, or as your schedule permits. 

Please see the submission guidelines on the side before submitting an article.  When you have an article you would like considered for publication, email it in Word or Text format to submit@complexchild.com
