Fringe: How to write a book or chapter

A masterclass run by RCPsych book committee on academic writing. This session will focus on the basics of writing academic books, how to get involved and the skills required to be able to do this. The panel will include experts in academic writing sharing their experiences but also starting to equip the audiences with some basic skills and offering opportunities to those that are interested in writing. It will be aimed at psychiatrists at all levels who have always wanted to explore academic writing but do not know what this involves or how to start their journey.
