Health Care Writer for Hire

In my long career as a writer, I have produced a variety of successful publications, from technical manuals to academic monographs. For the past few years, I’ve focused on education and health care. I write grant proposals and reports, newsletters, white papers and marketing materials for hospitals, clinics, and individual researchers in medicine and health care fields. I also write marketing materials and articles for schools and universities.
I bring the same strengths to all of the work I do:

I believe passionately in the power of narratives, or stories.
I’m organized and efficient.
I have a clear and persuasive prose style, and I know how to provide the most effective context for your ideas and your goals.
I provide strong transitions between ideas so that someone who is not an expert in your field can see how the different parts of your program relate to each other.
I’m a wizard at structuring an article or a grant application to highlight the strengths of your program, and to contextualize the areas in which you’re trying to grow.

Making use of my background as a Professor of English, I also lead grant-writing workshops — most recently for community health clinics and public health researchers.
