Hello! I’m Michelle Guillemard, founder of Health Writer Hub (read more about me here). For nearly 15 years, I’ve been working as a health writer. First I was employed, then I went freelance.

I’ve commissioned articles in editorial roles and written pitches – so, I know what works (as well as what doesn’t). And I also know just how long it takes to find publications to pitch to. This guide and pitching advice will save you DAYS of researching. I wish this guide had existed when I was starting out!
