Media Experience
Biographical Note
Do you need to consolidate your ideas into 100 words--or explain something rather more complicated in 100,000? Do you have a deadline to meet and require interesting, accurate copy appropriate for the lay or specialist (medical) reader? Do you want something written in a friendly, chatty style that avoids long words and complicated explanations—or something more succinct and to the point?
Perhaps you’re looking for a computer-literate, coherent, creative, clever, concise and cost-conscious copy-writer who can construct consistently clear, comprehensible copy or correct cacology for commercial clients—and who also has an extensive vocabulary of words starting with a variety of other letters?
As a freelance general writer and specialist medical editor with several years’ experience, I work on a wide range of projects, including ghostwriting books and articles, preparing PowerPoint slides for advertising agencies, writing product and patient leaflets, editing highly specialised medical texts for book publishers and writing supplements for medical journals.
An author in my own right, I have also written 15 successful books for patients and medical professionals (published in the UK, USA and Australia) and have ghostwritten articles and books.
My work also includes rewriting journal articles written by research medical scientists whose first language is not English, as well as health and medical books for authors and publishers in the UK, USA, Australia and Japan.
My clients include international book and journal publishers, institutions such as the Royal Society of Medicine, the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists and the World Health Organization, drug companies, advertising agencies and university departments.
