'WRITING FOR HEALTH MAGAZINES
By Gary McLaren

Freelance writing for health publications will not only keep you on
the edge of the latest trends and advice for maintaining a healthy
mind and body - it can also be healthy for your bank account.

Freelance writers produce articles covering a range of diverse
topics including nursing, disabilities, diseases, prevention and
cure, health research and education, alternative treatments and
more.

On the technical writing side medical writers also work in the
pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries, writing materials that
include regulatory documents, investigative drug brochures, and
clinical study protocols.

There is a good demand for health writing and this is a growing
industry. Consider for a moment for 76 million baby boomers that
have been entering their fifties. They are worrying more about
their health. They want to lose weight. They are trying to get fit.
They want to prevent disease and remain as healthy as possible.

It is not just the boomers, of course. Everyone wants to be healthy
and avoid sickness in order to feel better and enjoy life.
