This episode dives into the essentials of branding for nurse writers. Discover how your tone, personality, and voice shape your business and help you connect with the right clients. This is a quick intro to our monthly masterclass on branding—available to members at Savvy Nurse Writer.

Key Takeaways:

• Branding Begins with Tone: Think about how you speak to patients—your natural tone is your brand foundation.
