Saver, a veteran nurse who runs an editorial consulting firm, joins forces with 15 other contributors to outline the writing and publishing process for nurses who want to see their writing published. Using a conversational writing style rather than formal textbook style, the guide covers everything from peer review to social media. Part 1, a primer on writing and publishing, contains advice on how to improve the chances of having your writing accepted for publication, with guidelines on querying a publication, finding and documenting sources, use of tables and photos, and legal and ethical issues. Each chapter in part 2 walks through writing a particular type of paper or article, including clinical articles, scholarly and research journals, abstracts for podium and poster presentations, and books and book chapters, as well as writing for online journals and blogs, writing a nursing narrative, and writing for general education. The guide includes Q&A sidebars, writing exercises, proofreading checklists, and an appendix reviewing parts of speech. Annotation ©2011 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com) Read Less
