I want to addd a widget to the post-new.php page.

Just like the page already has 'Publish' widget, can I add a new widget of my own devising?

It seems easy to add a widget on the main dashboard page (add_action('wp_dashboard_setup', 'func_name')) but I'm buggered if I can add it to the new post page.

Using add_action('admin_print_scripts-post-new.php', 'etc...') just gives an error when the new post page loads (cant find function 'wp_add_dashboard_widget')

Anyone managed to do this???
