Authorship opportunity

Dear All,

Do you want to author a disease topic, or edit a chapter of a textbook on core medicine? Are you hardworking, enthusiastic, and adept at working to deadlines in a team of juniors and seniors?

After selling 41,000 books world wide, we are developing our biggest, and most ambitious title: a core textbook on medicine. Covering all areas of general medicine, we are looking for medical students and junior doctors to work in authoring and editing chapters.

Authorship consists of writing 1000 word summaries of key topics such as 'angina', 'hepatitis B', 'acute renal failure'.

Editorship consists of taking a whole chapter, helping write some sections, and taking the whole document and standardising it in line with the template.

If you are interested in either role, please apply before 7.7.17. No prior experience is required, just hard work, excellent communication, and good team work.

Look forward to reading your submission, and to having you join over 500 students, junior doctors, and senior reviewers that have been part of our award winning series of books.
