Hello, and welcome! I’m Michelle Guillemard, founder of Health Writer Hub.
For nearly 15 years, I’ve been working as a health writer. First I was employed, then I went freelance. I’ve since worked for all kinds of healthcare brands and businesses – hospitals, government, health professionals, pharmaceutical brands, insurers and more.
I’ve written about pretty much any health topic you can think of – and now, I’m sharing what I know with aspiring health writers around the world.
Why? It’s simple – I’m passionate about inspiring behaviour change through effective communication. I believe high-quality health writing plays a significant role in creating better public health.
Through Health Writer Hub, I’m striving to enhance global health literacy levels and improve health outcomes by empowering new writers to create best-practice, life-changing health content.
Effective digital health communication boosts global health literacy levels and makes a real difference in our readers’ lives.

Who are Health Writer Hub students?
Since 2013, thousands of students from around the world have taken at least one Health Writer Hub course. There are people from 40+ countries in our student-only Facebook group and 20,000 subscribers. Who knew health writing could be so popular?!
Health Writer Hub students are aspiring writers, experienced writers, health communicators transitioning from an employed role, health professionals, physicians, PhDs and freelancers keen to specialise in health & medical writing.
They are writers who want to work full-time, part-time, in addition to clinical work and around family commitments.
I’m so pleased that they share my vision: to create quality content that improves health literacy, inspires positive behaviour change and creates better health outcomes.
About me
In addition to teaching at Health Writer Hub, I’m still working as a freelance medical writer. I’m also a University of Melbourne Alumni Mentor and contributor to the European Medical Writers Association Journal. A keen industry advocate, I was President of the Australasian Medical Writers Association from 2014 to 2019.
What do I love most about my work? Meeting so many amazing people – from health writing students around the world to value-driven healthcare clients.
When I’m not working, I like to run, surf, snowboard, explore the outdoors and spend time in nature with people I love. I’m grateful to live and work in beautiful Noosa, in Australia’s Sunshine Coast, where I get up early to live life fully. You can find me on LinkedIn, Facebook and Instagram (mainly personal). I also own two French creperies with my husband!
If you’re driven by the desire to make a real difference in people’s lives through effective communication, you’re in the right place.
So are you ready to enhance your skills and grow your health writing career?
