Healthcare Pros Become Published Author | Expert Strategy Guide

Apr 23, 2025

Are you a healthcare pro who wants to share your expertise through a book? Publishing can build your authority and personal brand. Robert Nahas of Writer Services shares his proven formula for success.

Why Healthcare Professionals Should Publish Books

Research shows Americans spent $2.7 billion on self-help approaches, including books. This presents a significant opportunity for healthcare professionals to expand their influence and build credibility.

When you publish a book, you:

  • Establish yourself as an expert in your specialty.
  • Create a lasting resource for patients + colleagues.
  • Build a platform for speaking engagements + media appearances.
  • Develop a strong personal brand that sets you apart.

Common Obstacles to Getting Published

"Most books fail because authors don't know what they need to do," says Nahas, who brings over 30 years of business experience and 20 years in the book industry. "The publishing process can feel overwhelming without proper guidance."

Healthcare professionals face unique challenges when writing books:

  • Finding time to write between patient care + administrative duties.
  • Translating complex medical concepts into accessible language.
  • Deciding between traditional publishing + self-publishing options.
  • Creating content that stands out in a crowded marketplace.

The Book Writing Formula for Success

Nahas developed an eight-module Book Writing Formula that creates a clear roadmap for writing an influential book. This systematic approach helps healthcare professionals plan their books before writing begins.

The formula focuses on:

  • Clarifying Your Book Concept: Identify your core message + how it serves your readers.
  • Understanding Your Target Audience: Define who will benefit most from your expertise.
  • Creating Your Book Structure: Develop a logical flow that keeps readers engaged.
  • Establishing Your Unique Voice: Communicate in a way that reflects your personality + expertise.

Traditional vs. Self-Publishing: Which Path Is Right for You?

Many healthcare professionals wonder how to become published authors. There are two main paths:

Traditional Publishing

  • Provides editorial support + distribution networks.
  • Typically offers advances against royalties.
  • Requires finding an agent + securing a publisher.
  • Publishing timeline averages 18-24 months.

Self-Publishing

  1. Gives you complete creative control.
  2. Allows faster time to market (3-6 months).
  3. Requires more personal management of the process.
  4. Offers higher royalty percentages on sales.

Personal Branding Through Books

Your book becomes a cornerstone of your personal brand. Healthcare professionals who publish books often see:

  • Increased referrals from patients + colleagues.
  • More media opportunities + interview requests.
  • Higher perceived credibility in their specialty.
  • Enhanced online presence + authority.
