| Description: Behavior analysts work in healthcare, public policy, education, sports, and other important disciplines. Writing for the public is one of the best ways to disseminate that work. When you write for high-profile publications (e.g., Harvard Business Review, New England Journal of Medicine), you reach a wider audience and your work becomes searchable online. In this workshop, participants will select a topic, identify potential publication outlets, write a pitch letter, outline an article, and build a project and accountability plan. By the end of the workshop, you will have a detailed, multiple-paragraph outline ready to guide your writing and editing. Dust off those research findings, dissertations, and rejected manuscripts, and let’s put fresh eyes on them and their potential. This workshop is part of Wider Reach Incubator, a program for behavior-analytic researchers and practitioners that is made possible by the Society for the Advancement of Behavior Analysis. |
