Continuing with some thoughts on the learnings I’ve taken from writing two books on patient recruitment – fourthly, enlisting the help of others has been very useful for the actual production of the book. For my first book, Patient Recruitment for Clinical Trials Using Facebook Ads, I had someone edit the text, then someone else put the layout together for Kindle and print versions, as well as them creating the cover. For my most recent book, The Patient Recruitment Conundrum, I had an editor, an illustrator, a layout formatter, and a cover designer – all of whom helped make the finished product better.

And fifthly, for the second book, I’ve had assistance from people within the industry who provided feedback and recommendations for making the book more understandable and useful. This has certainly been a benefit and is something I highly recommend for anyone else who wishes to put their thoughts out there in a book.
