About this book
Reviews
From the reviews:
"A book for clinicians who want to start writing. … Every type of article that could fall within the scope … is covered. ... The book is easy and entertaining to read. … He has brightened what could otherwise be a dry subject … . If you need that extra push to start to write reading Taylor’s book is a good place to begin. … This guide covers wider aspects of medical writing and gives practical tips missing from other medical writing guides … ." (Elise Langdon-Neuner, The Journal of Men’s Health, Vol. 2(2), June, 2005)
"Might be described as a little gem, sparkling with advice, hints, and help, pushing and prodding the prospective but fearful (or lazy) writer to produce work that reveals some genius, knowledge, or talent. ... discusses all aspects of medical writing … . a road map to writing success. … a jewel, deserving consideration by every medical practitioner, both the academic, who must publish, and the nonacademic, who might discover the fun of writing and the pride of seeing his or her work published." (Alexander W. Gotta, Journal of the American Medical Association, Vol. 293(9), March, 2005)
