When words count, that's not the time to cut corners.
Whether you regularly utilize freelance writers or simply need to outsource a demanding project for quick turn-around, my portfolio supports a wide range of industries and versatile copy needs. From award-winning consumer guides to the latest in streaming audio for the net, a creative atmosphere is where I feel most at home.
With over twenty years experience in healthcare, it only makes sense that I specialize in both business to consumer copy, as well as, expectation management and patient education.
I hope you'll take a moment to review some of my clips or take a tour of our audio production site for The Patient's Voice, the net's newest online healthcare radio show, content driven by and for consumers.
Best,
Rosemary
