A career as a health writer

Whether you’re a freelance health writer or an employed medical writer, you can benefit personally and professionally by setting career goals.

Would you say you’re an efficient medical writer? Or are you a writer who is easily distracted?

While there’s no ‘one size fits all’ approach to medical writing training, the variety of learning that’s available makes it easier to work as a skilled writer in this field.

Have you been given a brief from a health client and felt confused about how to conduct research for the project?

Ah productivity tips! Everyone is fluttering around them like teenage boys around the new pretty girl at school. Major online publications and business magazine are full to brim with them.

So you want to earn six figures as a freelance writer. Is that an achievable goal, or are you dreaming?

Medical writing. Health writing. Same same but different?

Your mental health can suffer if you are too anxious and experience too much work stress for too long.

As it turns out, many of us have been approached by PhD students of various academic levels who have had no shame in asking us to write their essays and papers.

I can reveal, without a doubt, that I wouldn’t be where I am right now if it weren’t for networking.

Confession: I’m a medical writer without a medical degree.
