Before I write an article/paper, I write an outline.
I always create an outline after a briefing call with a client and before I begin writing a piece. The client receives this outline, and if they are happy with it, I proceed with writing the article.
The outline not only helps me while writing but also helps my client.
Every account manager/account director communicates differently, and as a medical writer, I need to make sure I understand what the client wants. Providing my clients with an outline ensures:
1. Nothing gets lost in translation.
2. The main messages/points are included and are correct.
3. The level of detail is suitable for my audience.
4. There is an interesting and engaging storyline.
5. The piece will be the correct length.
You might think that creating an outline takes too much time, but, trust me, it is worth gold.
