We’ve published Pencil Points, our free monthly newsletter since 2009. We’ve given our readers a wealth of insights and inspiration, from tips to help those who are new to medical writing, to practical ideas to help freelances at all levels of experience build their businesses and improve their bottom lines. In Best of Pencil Points, Volume 1, we’ve gathered the best and most popular articles from the first year of Pencil Points and added Authors’ Updates and Business Tidbits throughout to give you the added benefit of what’s happened and what we’ve learned since then.
