A note from Cyndy and Brian

When we got started as freelance medical writers, there was very little information available to guide us and to help us avoid making mistakes. There were plenty of books on writing, and even a couple of books about freelance writing. But they were dry, not very user friendly, and definitely not very inspiring. And there was nothing written specifically to help people become freelance medical writers. With The Accidental Medical Writer series, we’re changing all that!

We wrote The Accidental Medical Writer to give you the confidence you need to become a successful freelance medical writer, regardless of whether you’re a writer with an interest in medicine or a scientist or healthcare professional with an interest in writing. The Accidental Medical Writer was also written to give you the motivation to take that all-important first step, and the benefit of our almost 40 years of collective experience in making it work.

The Accidental Medical Writer series, including our books and all the great resources and information available to you on this website— which we are continually updating and enriching—will give you the tools you need to get started. Tools you will find useful today and throughout your career.

We invite you to explore our website and take advantage of the many things it has to offer!
