The Mid-America chapter of the American Medical Writer's Association was founded in 1985, and historically serves AMWA members living in the states of Missouri, Kansas, Iowa and Nebraska. We published a quarterly newsletter (latest issue 2025 Winter), and hold regular meetings. The Board of Directors holds regular meetings by teleconference, and minutes of those meetings are available.

May 13 - Sales and Billing Advice/Etiquette, presented by Veronika Redmann
Dr. Redmann will present different sales techniques for technical writers who have to look for their own projects and clients as freelancers: networking with colleagues/cold calls/local and conference events, online marketing through social media posting, professional listings, websites, LinkedIn, and sub-contracting with bigger firms/staffing agencies. We will briefly touch on the advantages and disadvantages of working for yourself vs. a larger firm, as it relates to sales and billing.
We will also discuss billing advice/etiquette for freelances, in order to encourage your clients to pay you on the schedule you prefer! We will look for lots of discussion from the audience, to brainstorm on the collective experience of the group.
All meetings are held at Sunny Street Cafe, 11692 Manchester Road, Des Peres from 11:30 am to 1:00 pm. For more information or to register contact Lisa Balbes or Joanne McAndrews.
