ABOUT THIS SESSION

Medical mistakes can pull readers out of a story faster than almost anything else. Ronda Wells, M.D., walks writers through the essentials of writing believable medical scenes, from reliable research sources to the clichés and shortcuts that undermine credibility. This session helps writers tailor medical detail to their audience, striking the right balance between accuracy and storytelling so scenes feel confident rather than confusing.
