Writing for General Readers

“Most people say that pretty much all physicians have a book inside them—and I agree.”

Writing for general readers can be a very rewarding experience. In this installment of More Than Medicine, William H. Reid, MD, MPH, walks us through the process of writing and publishing fiction and nonfiction books, plus how you can get started.

Dr Reid is a forensic psychiatrist in Horseshoe Bay, Texas. He is the author of A Dark Night in Aurora: Inside James Holmes and the Colorado Mass Shootings.
