FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know about working with a freelance medical writer.

Still have questions?
I cover the full spectrum of medical writing: peer-reviewed manuscripts, literature reviews, systematic reviews, congress abstracts and posters, HCP-facing promotional content, patient education materials, grant applications, English–Spanish translation, and medical web content. Whether you need a single document or ongoing communications support, I can adapt to your project scope.
Yes. I work with pharmaceutical companies, biotech firms, medical communications agencies, academic research groups, and healthcare institutions. I understand the specific requirements, timelines, and compliance standards of each environment and can align my writing to your internal processes and review cycles.
My core expertise is in cardiovascular disease, respiratory medicine, and haemato-oncology, developed through my PhD research and postdoctoral work. These areas cover anticoagulation, thrombosis, haematological malignancies, and cardiopulmonary conditions. I'm also able to write in adjacent therapeutic areas with appropriate literature support.
All claims are evidence-based and fully referenced against current peer-reviewed literature. I apply ICMJE authorship criteria and GPP3 (Good Publication Practice) guidelines to all publication work, and I follow EMEA/EFPIA standards for promotional materials. As an AERTeM-certified writer, I maintain current knowledge of evolving regulatory requirements.
Timelines depend on the project type and complexity. A congress abstract typically takes 3–5 working days; a full manuscript 2–4 weeks; patient education materials 1–2 weeks. I work within your review and approval cycles and can accommodate rush timelines when needed. Every project starts with a brief to align on objectives, audience, and key messages before drafting begins.
