“I appreciated everyone’s insight and honest comments. I thought many of the heartfelt conversations revealed a real need for open dialogue. I wonder how much of that would have occurred in a face-to-face meeting.”

There is a craft to sharing what we learn through publication. This seminar provides an introduction to writing for professional publication facilitated by the managing editor for the Oates Journal. This introduction will look at conceiving and researching ideas, proposing them to editors, and executing the writing at a professional level. While the focus will be on writing for professional journals, it will also address whitepaper and book publication as well as new self publication opportunities in blogs and books.
