Do you have a clinical project or experience you would like to share with the international music therapy community? Clinicians who publish in their areas of expertise educate peers so they can provide better care to clients. However, clinicians may consider scholarly writing and publishing out of reach. This brief session attempts to demystify scholarly writing and publishing and make this process more accessible for busy music therapy clinicians. Participants will identify the importance of writing by music therapy clinicians (i.e., ideas die in the basement), address common concerns holding us back from writing (i.e., embrace your fears), discuss the importance of small everyday writing habits (i.e., two minutes can change your life), and identify types of accessible projects and ethical considerations (i.e., nobody wants to get sued). Bring a curious mind and be ready to access your creativity to bring your ideas to life!
