ABOUT THIS LECTURE

From Idea to Published: A Writing Series for Physicians

This lecture is for physicians who have an idea for a memoir or novel and want to shape their experiences into a focused, sustainable work. It is especially helpful for writers in the early stages of development, though more experienced writers looking to reconnect with the core of a project will also benefit.

Participants will learn how to:

  • Identify which ideas have the strongest narrative, emotional, or thematic potential
  • Understand common early missteps that lead writers into drafts they later have to substantially rework
  • Explore how genre, structure, and purpose influence a project from the beginning
  • Develop a clearer sense of direction before drafting extensively
  • Begin approaching their writing with the mindset and tools of a professional author

This lecture is practical, reflective, and immediately applicable, offering writers a clearer path from scattered ideas to a focused literary project.
