Abstract

The Jam Session for Seasoned Freelancers grew out of a chance late-night gathering of experienced freelance medical writers and editors at an AMWA conference years ago. The conversations resonated like a group of accomplished musicians combining their unique talents, energy, and experience to make a special kind of synergy. Each year since, the Jam Session for Seasoned Freelancers has attempted to replicate the magic of that evening in a more formal setting as a session within the conference program, enabling more freelancers with substantial experience to participate. The session held during AMWA’s 2025 Medical Writing & Communication Conference lived up to expectations.
