SUMMARY:Expanding freelance options: Grant writing
DESCRIPTION:Join the Association for Health Care Journalists for the first in what is hoped to be a series of programs over the next couple of years\, pinpointing new options for freelancers to use their journalistic skills to make a living. \nDate: Thursday\, Feb. 27 \nTime: 6-8 p.m. (Light meal available 6-6:30 p.m.) \nLocation: The Open Office2843 Washington Blvd.Cleveland Heights\, OH 44118 \nFreelancers in the Cleveland-Akron area have many opportunities to do grant writing. Locally\, grant writers are in demand by health-care organizations\, disease-specific organizations and health-welfare focused charities\, organizations and/or groups. \nThree local experts will share “been-there\, done-that” insights and anecdotes about \n\n\nwhat it takes to recognize your transferrable grant writing skills \n\n\nwhat it takes to make the mind-shift needed to be a successful grant writer; \n\n\ntips\, tricks and strategies for successful grant writing (which is a lot more collaborative and iterative than you might think); \n\n\nnavigating the non-profit landscape; and \n\n\nhow to position and market yourself as a grant writer. \n\n\nPresenters include: \nSandy Erlanger\, senior development officer at University Hospitals \nTopics: What she does on a daily basis as a grant writer\, including working with colleagues (grant writing is often a team process)\, dealing with those for whom grants are being written as well as the funders to whom proposals are sent\, and the iterative process that grant proposals go through. \nSusan Ackerman\, chair\, Health Policy and Planning\, Center for Community Solutions \nTopics: The many health- and human welfare-focused organizations and agencies Northeast Ohio; the kinds of grants they will be seeking (based on the Center’s respected research); areas/topics of interest to grant funders — and therefore grant writers. \nKim St. John-Stevenson\, Principal\, InkPlusLLC and a former grant administrator at the St. Luke’s Foundation \nTopics: The mechanics of grant writing (and why every grant form/format is different); the mind-shift that journalists must make to pursue freelance opportunities in grant writing; and tips and strategies for marketing yourself as a grant writer. \nThe panel will be followed by a Q&A period. \nPlease contact Eileen Beal (eojb@visn.net or 216-320-1358) to register a space (and so she and co-chapter chair\, Carrie Buchanan\, journalism instructor at JCU\, will know how much food to order).

SUMMARY:Beyond the Basics of Pitching: Becoming That Dream Writer
DESCRIPTION:Resources\nSee a recording of this webcast. \nSpeakers’ presentation: \n381 kB PDF \n\nFeb. 28\, 12 p.m. CT\nEditors are busy folks who receive many more emails each day than they can ever hope to answer. How can a writer\, who’s new to a publication\, craft such an impressive pitch\, that even if the story doesn’t sell\, keeps the door wide open for next time? A panel of top editors will talk about pitches they loved and could not walk away from. Using examples of successful pitches-to-story\, they’ll explain the formula for pitches that are memorable – in a good way – starting with the subject line. \nPerhaps most important\, even experienced writers can struggle with writing pitches that identify a story and not a topic. Writers may do so much pre-pitch research that it’s easy to forget that we’re actually not prepping for a master’s thesis; there’s a great story somewhere in that pile of PubMed searches. Our panel of editors will give their best advice on how to make your pitch communicate that story\, and impress them in the process. \nParticipating editors:\n\n\nJim Giles\, Matter \n\n\nRobin Lloyd\, Scientific American \n\n\nMore about the speakers:\nJim Giles writes about the interface between science\, technology and society. He is the co-fournder of Matter and a Medium editor. His work has appeared in The Atlantic\, The New York Times\, Nature\, New Scientist\, the Guardian and many other outlets. \nRobin Lloyd\, a science writer going back to the Galileo mission to Jupiter\, is Scientific American’s news editor\, responsible for planning\, editing and assigning stories for SA‘s website and managing its home page. She also oversees SA‘s social media efforts. Previously\, she was a senior editor for LiveScience.com and SPACE.com. She has experience in print journalism (Pasadena Star-News)\, wire service journalism (City News Service in Los Angeles) and network online journalism (CNN.com). She worked for five years as a science publicist at the American Museum of Natural History in New York City. She earned a Ph.D. in sociology from the University of California\, Santa Barbara\, and received a Knight Science Journalism Fellowship at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology for the 1998-1999 academic year.  \nThe webcast will be moderated by Jeanne Erdmann\, a freelance health and science writer based near St. Louis. She writes about cancer\, genetics\, genetic testing\, genetic counseling and osteoarthritis. Her stories have appeared in Women’s Health\, Slate\, The Washington Post\, Nature Medicine\, Nature\, Cure and others. Erdmann was chosen for a 2013 AHCJ Reporting Fellowship on Health Care Performance\, with assistance from the Commonwealth Fund. She also co-produces The Open Notebook\, a craft-focused website for science writers.
