Thursday, 16 March 2017: “From medical writer to author” – AMWA Sydney networking event with Tina Allen

About: Former AMWA president (2005–2009), Tina Allen will share with us her journey from medical writer to author. She has spent seven years researching and writing Bill Gibson: pioneering bionic ear surgeon and it is a great accomplishment to have it published through NewSouth Press (NSP) – one of the two publishing arms of the University of NSW. Tina will tell us about learning to write in a new genre and what she believes was the crucial step in securing a book publishing contract with NSP which deservedly won 2016 Small Publisher of the Year in the Australian Book Industry Awards.
Time: Thursday, 16 March @ 6pm
Where: Firehouse Hotel, North Sydney
RSVP: Please email president@medicalwriters.org to RSVP
