Medical and healthcare editing
Are you looking for a medical writer with a scientific background to edit and proofread your medical and healthcare content or grant? My goal is to produce clear, high-quality content that understands and engages your target audience.
Many of my clients tell me that they hate editing. Well, I love it.
I love to take apart your messy, complex scientific terminology, jargon and language, and shape and polish it into something beautiful.
I love to distil complex medical research and scientific data into consumer- and patient-friendly language.
Grant editing
Are you looking for help with submitting a strategic grant that articulates your project's goals and outcomes? I’ve worked with many healthcare and medical research clients to write successful grants for a range of funding bodies: Trusts and Foundations, the NHMRC, community grants and more.
Grant writing and editing is a specialised skill. It requires a deep understanding of the science behind the research or equipment, the ability to articulate the project's outcomes and its relevance to the grant funder's goals.
Why choose a medical writer and editor?
My clients choose me because they are looking for a medical writer and editor who:

These clients know that high-quality editing in medical, healthcare and research fields requires a strong scientific background, writing expertise, a track record of executing writing projects and knowledge of relevant guidelines and regulations, including AHPRA, TGA Advertising Code and MA Code.
I’ve worked with some of Australia’s best-known healthcare and medical research organisations to research, write and edit articles, manuscripts, handouts, flyers, booklets, books, eBooks, reviews and blogs across a range of topics and for a range of audiences. My clients include research institutes, universities, non-for-profits and private individuals.
Medical editing for Western audiences
Are you looking for a medical writer and editor who knows how to covert your content for a Western audience or submission to an English medical journal?
My medical editing clients are often authors that are not native English speakers, but wish to publish a book, market their website or submit their journal article with a Western audience in mind.
