Medical writing transcends borders, uniting professionals across geographies, demographics, languages, and cultures. This inherent global perspective has inspired the theme for this issue. While previous editions have explored medical writing in specific countries and regions, the COVID-19 pandemic has irreversibly reshaped the global landscape. Virtual meetings, remote work, and international collaboration are now commonplace, broadening opportunities for medical writers to connect and work together across continents. This issue aims to celebrate the worldwide medical writing community by integrating insights that reflect our collective resilience and adaptability. We’ve curated articles that delve into topics ranging from cross-border collaboration and freelance medical writing to inclusive practices and language-specific challenges. Through these contributions, we aspire to strengthen the bonds within our community, fostering an environment where medical writers can thrive both individually and collectively on a global stage.
