Description: Published this fall by the University of Chicago Press, Medical Editing: A Guide to Learning the Craft and Building Your Career reflects decades of experience in science editing and the teaching thereof—and a decade or so of doubt and procrastination. In this webinar, author Barbara Gastel will present an overview of the book and share highlights from it. She also will touch on insights gained from this experience in the author role. Whether you’re an early-career editor seeking to explore the field, an experienced editor hoping to gain a few new ideas or find a guide for junior colleagues, or just someone wanting to hear some medical-writing gaffes, we hope you’ll join us.
