Writing for Professional Medical Publications is for beginning freelance medical writers as well as those who have been writing for a while. This eBook will help the reader learn more about the medical writing field — the opportunities available, as well as the professional organizations and resources that can be very helpful to anyone who writes or would like to write medical articles. All of this information in the book is available elsewhere, but it is not always easy to find online, and this book brings helpful information together so that writers can benefit from it. It also includes chapters written by other health and medical writers, such as Jenna Glatzer and Trudy Lieberman. Several editors of medical publications also give advice on working with editors and writing stories that editors want. Medical writers from around the world also offer advice to their peers as well as their story of breaking into medical writing. Writing for Professional Medical Publications starts from the beginning — wondering what jobs are available in medical writing, where to look to learn more about them, how to find medical writing and copyediting classes to further your writing and editing skills, the "seven deadly sins" of medical reporting, writing about healthcare for consumer publications, and one entire chapter that lists a multitude of online medical databases, medical news, medical libraries and medical indexes, with links to all of them. One chapter addresses biomedical writing, while another explains why articles fail, and another helps the writer determine his or her commitment to the story's impact on readers. From start to finish, you won't want to put down this invaluable source of information for medical writers. |
