Summary: To make a better medical writer...
Comment: ---
...begin with the basics. The Grand Dame of usage among the ranks of the American Medical Writers Association, Edie Schwager has always demonstrated punctiliousness and precision as thoroughgoing as is her charm. A warmly-welcomed and well-beloved member of AMWA's Delaware Valley Chapter, Edie has always been the first person for whom I've looked whenever I've attended any of the Association's meetings. She educates without condescension and is patient beyond belief.

Most of us come to the field of medical writing from a technical background, usually having been trained as scientists, health care providers, or allied professionals. Our compositional experience is generally restricted to communications with peers, and the niceties of precise English usage are not well-appreciated by those of us who scraped through the liberal arts side of our education only narrowly (and that only with the utilization of Cliff's Notes and every other kind of cheat-sheet we could get our hands upon). Enter Edie Schwager's very nice little book of tips and tricks.

If you aspire to a career as a writer in the health care field, this book belongs alongside your copy of Stedman's, right next to your copies of Iles' *Guidebook to Better Medical Writing* and Bob Bonk's *Medical Writing in Drug Development*.
