(1888PressRelease)
December 24, 2008 - Cynthia L. Kryder and Brian G. Bass, The Accidental Medical Writer, LLC, are pleased to announce the publication of their new book, The Accidental Medical Writer. Free excerpts of the book are available at: http://booklocker.com/pdf/3678s.pdf. The book is available for purchase in electronic and paperback versions at: http://www.booklocker.com/books/3678.html.
The authors both started out unqualified to do what they do today for a living. They came to the same career from very different experiences, educations, expectations, and needs. Cyndy was a health care professional who never planned on becoming a writer. Brian was a writer who never planned on entering the health care profession. Today, both are successful freelance medical writers.
“When we started out, we often found ourselves flying by the seats of our pants,” says Brian. “We did things intuitively because 20 years ago there wasn’t a lot of information out there about how to become a medical writer, let alone how to become a freelance medical writer. As you will find when you read our stories, it wasn’t always easy.”
The authors have worked together as colleagues for several years, and are committed to sharing what they know with other professionals who are interested in pursuing freelance medical writing as a career.
“Over the years, we found that giving seminars at local and national meetings was one way to reach aspiring freelance medical writers, but it never felt like quite enough,” explains Cyndy. “That’s why we wrote this book, launched a website, and made a commitment to publish an entire series of books to help writers achieve their personal and professional goals.”
In their journeys to becoming successful freelance medical writers, the authors made different mistakes and learned different lessons. The tips they share can help aspiring medical writers avoid some of the pitfalls and perhaps get to the benefits that freelance medical writing has to offer a bit faster.
Is this book just for people who want to become successful freelance medical writers? No. The strategies, lessons, and tips provided can be applied to any freelance endeavor. The authors achieved their success through medical writing, but would-be entrepreneurs can apply their tips and techniques to other types of writing as well as to other types of freelance businesses.
