Life continues. I’ve moved to southern Delaware, near the beaches of Fenwick Island, on the golf course at Bayside. We are closer to our daughter Grace and her family. Santa Fe was great and we miss it, but that’s a past chapter now.

I have a new book out, co-authored and Kindle-published with my consulting partner, Greg Cuppan. It is a very targeted book, Writing for the Biopharmaceutical Regulatory Reader. Greg and I have been consultants and trainers for some 27 years to many pharma companies. We gathered our best instructional materials and examples, and we tried to capture our best thinking in a brief book.

We learned a lot about Kindle publishing and found ourselves pushing the limits of format and presentation. We are offering the book in eBook format at $19.99, with a paperback version to come in January, 2022. We will use the book in all our training courses. We are getting lots of interest on LinkedIn to our pre-publication announcement.

Writer’s Help is now in its third edition, integrated with the Achieve learning management system that now holds all Bedford/Macmillan textbooks. Covid threw a wrench in the academic publishing business, with many schools just trying to manage forced changes. I hope the move toward distance learning/hybrid instruction will make Writer’s Help even more attractive. It is built from the ground-up to be an online resource. Integration with Achieve gives it a great set of tools for peer review, assignment tracking, individualized learning, and writing in the disciplines.
