Dental Marketing Expert and Author Michael Ventriello Launches the Dental Writers Academy
3-Month Online Mentorship Program Designed for Aspiring Dental Writers
Brick, NY – Michael Ventriello, founder of Ventriello Communications LLC and an accomplished dental industry ghostwriter, editor and published author, recently launched The Dental Writers Academy - a quarterly, three-month on-line mentorship program for aspiring dental writers.
According to Ventriello, “For the past 15 years, I’ve been helping some of dentistry’s most prominent key opinion leaders and industry executives launch and maintain their writing careers – I continue to work with many of them today.” Here are a few examples:
•“For many years, Michael’s been my ‘go-to guy’ for all things regarding writing - including helping me come up with compelling article ideas. In 2017 alone, he helped me edit 32 articles and 2 books. Michael helps me be the best writer I can possibly be!” – Patti DiGangi, RDH, BS
•“Several years ago, Michael had compassion for this neophyte writer and speaker. Under his direction, gentle persuasion and amazing foresight, I have become a published author, key opinion leader, and well-respected resource in my profession.” – Debra Zafiropoulos, RDH (Debbie Z)
•Michael’s editorial sense for forward-thinking topics and his laser focus on honing the message is what separates him from other writing mentors and coaches. His caring, pointed, and powerful attention to my message helped me raise my articles to a higher level of acceptance in virtually every hygiene and dental journals.” – Lisa C. Wadsworth, RDH, BS
“I love working with the dental industry’s veteran authors”, explains Ventriello. “But now it’s time to coach the next generation of aspiring dental writers in a virtual classroom setting and by using digital media.”
The first session of the Dental Writers Academy is from October 1st – December 31st and includes ongoing, personalized e-coaching with Michael Ventriello and a monthly virtual study club, which will frequently feature well-known dental authors as guests. Study modules will include topics such as:
• Developing Your Voice & Personal Brand
• Beating Writer’s Block
• Writing for the Web
• Promoting Your Articles on Social Media
• Getting Published and Getting Paid
“My intent is to have enrollees begin writing an article during the three-month session and have a finished draft shortly after graduation, says Ventriello. “I will personally edit and submit the best of these final drafts to my dental media contacts for consideration and possible publication.”
