Calling All Writers

sculpture: Bourrasque by Paul Cocksedge

Okay, not ALL writers. I’m interested in hearing from nurses (past or present) , based anywhere in the UK or beyond, who would consider contributing a piece of their writing to the blog. It can be a short piece of memoir, a poem, a story, and opinion piece. All I ask is that it is no more 600 – 700 words long and can fit (even obliquely) under the theme of ‘Nurse Stories’. You don’t have to be a published writer, just someone interested in reflecting your experience in words.

To start off this new section of the blog, I’m pleased to be including the work of some fine new voices here – Rosemary Mander, Deborah Ritchie and Corrienne McCullough – all individuals associated with Nursing Studies at University of Edinburgh. Just click on the ‘Writing by Nurses’ tab above to see their work.

It’s easy to get in touch – my 'nursingwriter' email address is on the top right under 'Our Project'. I look forward to hearing from you.
