Clear titles and abstracts are often what readers (and editors!) utilize to decide if they will continue to engage with your work... or not. They set the stage for communicating your work.
Help your audience know exactly what your article is about right from the beginning. In this session we will evaluate the wording of titles and abstracts to maximize acceptance of your work for publication/presentation and improve readers' understanding.

Kari Nelson, PhD
We've all heard the secret sauces to write more...
"Put the 4-hour writing block on your calendar!"...
"Hunker down in the library with your laptop and a bag of M&Ms!"...
"Reserve Tuesday mornings for lit reviews!"...
"Write anything and everything. Case reports, original research, narrative reviews, and grants!"...
What if it's all crap? What if there is no secret sauce? What if you just have to do it??
Face the facts: writing can be hard. Especially if you don't find it particularly enjoyable. This session will uncover the un-sugarcoated tricks that have worked for one struggling writer - perhaps they could work for you, too.
