2027 CME Writer Planning Kit

Look Back. Look Ahead. Plan Your Year. Most CME writers finish the year busy but not sure what to change. The 2027 CME Writer Planning Kit gives you a structured way to look back at your work, decide where you want to go next, and turn that direction into a plan you can follow all year. Created by Alexandra Howson, PhD, an independent CME/CE writer for 20 years and author of WriteCME Roadmap, this coil-bound planner walks you through seven worksheets designed specifically for continuing medical education writers: - 2026 Year in Review: reflect on your Wellbeing, Knowledge, Craft, and Business, and decide what to carry forward and what to leave behind. - 2027 Direction: name your theme, set one big goal, and choose three priorities. - Deliverable Growth Map: rate your confidence across needs assessments, grant proposals, patient cases, slide decks, outcomes reports, and more, then choose what to grow. - Client Mix & Pipeline: review your 2026 clients, shape your ideal client mix, and track prospects. - 2027 CME Calendar: map professional meetings, specialty meetings, client busy seasons, and your own time off, quarter by quarter. - Visibility Plan: clarify your positioning and plan portfolio samples, testimonials, and relationships. - Quarterly Check-ins: four short reviews to keep your plan on track all year. Each worksheet points you to the WriteCME resource that helps with your next step. Work through it over the holidays or a few quiet January mornings, then come back to it every quarter. Who it's for: Freelance and in-house CME/CE writers, medical writers moving into continuing education, and healthcare professionals (nurses, pharmacists, PhDs, physicians) building a medical writing career.
