My Work to Foster a Supportive Medical Writing Community

As a medical writer, I know how isolating this field can feel, especially for early-career writers or scientists transitioning from academia or clinic. Without colleagues nearby, it can be challenging to get feedback, share ideas, or find collaborative opportunities.

Over time, I realized that building meaningful connections and shared learning opportunities was essential for both personal growth and supporting the broader medical writing community.

To reach that goal, I created a volunteer-based Substack blog where medical writers at all experience levels share insights, challenges, and practical advice. Topics include how to incorporate AI into your workflow, improve time management, and write with clarity.

Why These Efforts Matter

This initiative reflects my belief that community is essential for growth in medical writing. Creating spaces for connection and learning helps reduce isolation, supports skill development, and builds confidence.

I welcome writers at all stages who want to connect, learn, and contribute.
