HealthEditink: Expertise
During my career, I have been involved in virtually all major health care policy issues, developing a familiarity with them that ensures accurate, insightful, and timely completion of projects.
My publications have targeted a variety of audiences around the world, from the lay public to corporations, policy makers and academics. This has included writing and/or editing books, pamphlets, articles, conference proceedings, international newsletters and dozens of corporate reports for top management. Some of the proceedings and newsletters have won awards.
Online, I write SEO-sensitive content for websites, write and manage ghost blogs, and oversee image campaigns on LinkedIn and Twitter. Compelling content is critical in ensuring that clients can take full advantage of the exciting opportunities an online presences offers.
My experience includes not only writing and editing for native English speakers
(American and British styles), but also for those whose mother tongue is not English.
A list of examples of projects appears below. Copies of most of these are available on request. For the most recent publication, click here. For a current blog management and writing project, click here.
