Instead of just having a single splashy launch, we want an author who will be a partner in a long-term marketing and awareness effort. With respect for Western medicine Books in this series start with the premise that Western medicine has valuable things to offer, particularly for acute care of conditions and symptoms. For some diseases, such as childhood leukemia, Western medicine has a high rate of success. However, we start from the point that Western medicine is the prevailing paradigm and that we'll first look for what it can contribute to healing. We do want authors who think of healing more broadly than x-rays and surgery.
Complementary therapies are a part of any healing.
Therapies like counseling, support groups, nutrition, or psychologic pain relief are used to help people cope with life changes or side effects of treatments. We applaud the approach and philosophy of Michael Lerner's Choices in Healing . There are other publishers who are. We want to reflect the importance of healing the whole person while taking into account the current medical landscape. We expect that you have writing experience and familiarity with managing a project schedule.
