UpFront: Supporting our Emerging Writers
by Amanda Margolis, PharmD, MS, BCACP
"One of the goals for JPSW has always been to foster the growth and professional development of new writers. To that end, the JPSW Editorial Advisory Committee (EAC) has two new exciting initiatives to announce:
• The JPSW Emerging Writers Lunch & Learn Series
• Opportunities for increased communication between authors and readers
Based on a survey conducted by Dr. Mike Nagy (peer review coordinator and EAC member) the EAC determined that a structured and centralized writing program to better support The Journal’s student writing clubs was warranted. The EAC decided to expand this concept beyond the student writing clubs, to include any pharmacy student, resident, or interested writer. Under the direction of Dr. Cassie Sedgwick (EAC member), the JPSW Emerging Writers Lunch & Learn series is intended to cover foundational writing topics for students, residents, and others interested in publishing. This series is comprised of 20- to 30-minute teleconferences that are presented over the lunch hour every two weeks. The goal of this series is to help authors develop the tools needed to successfully write articles for publication."
