Fancy getting your feet into the realms of publishing? This new workshop will get you started.
We all have a story to tell, and as a doctor you probably have some interesting stories to share about your views, or your practice.
Publishing a news article on mainstream media is a major challenge for a lot of people. But this writing workshop will get you started on the right path.
The “Writing Workshop for Doctors” event will take place online, on 4 November at 3.30pm WST. The idea, according to organisers, is to create an opportunity for doctors (and people who write for doctor audiences) to meet the editors and learn a little about how to engage with the media and how to pitch story ideas.
Who will be presenting?
The workshop will be led by:
- Professor Nick Talley, Editor-in-Chief, Medical Journal of Australia
- Dr Linda Calabresi, Editor-In-Chief, The Medical Republic
- Penny Durham, Editor, The Medical Republic
- Dr Justin Coleman, GP-writer and former President of the Australasian Medical Writers Association
The event will be moderated by Bianca Nogrady, science writer and President of the Science Journalist Association of Australia
