Traditional-Publishing A Book about Healthcare [Side Ventures]

The Doctors On Social Media Podcast

Ilana Yurkiewicz, MD joins our Side Ventures SERIES, to discuss the book writing process.

We cover:

• the backstory of how to create a book through a traditional publishing outlet
• the steps of book publishing
• how to get an agent
• what a book proposal is, what hers was
• the length of time from beginning to end

Dr. Yurkiewicz wrote the book Fragmented, which you can find more info about in our Books/Blogs section.
