FAQs

What does a freelance medical writer and data analysis consultant do?

A freelance medical writer and data analysis consultant can help you collect and analyse data with integrity, write with clarity, and report with accuracy. This will improve your efficiency, boost your productivity, and relieve your workload.

Can you write and/or edit a manuscript for a scientific publication?

Yes. I can provide freelance manuscript writing service and manuscript editing services to write, edit, and polish your manuscript, and get it ship-shape for journal submission and peer review.

Can you analyse data?

Yes. I can provide you with a freelance data analysis and data science service to analyse your data, build statistical models, run biostatistical tests, and make inferences.

Can you write articles or health/medical news blog posts for MedComms and science communications?

Yes. I can provide you with a freelance scientific writing service that distils complex scientific topics into concise, understandable, and thoroughly researched articles or health/medical news blog posts that have been SEO optimised to help reach your audience.

Can you help write/edit a research grant proposal?

Yes. I can provide you with freelance grant writing and grant editing services to help turn your research idea and hypothesis into a full grant proposal ready for submission.

Can you help plan a literature review, systematic review, or meta-analysis?

Yes. I can provide you with a freelance evidence synthesis service to help scope the question, plan search strategy and screening, design extraction tables, and define an analysis plan.

Can you write technical documents and clinical trial reports?

Yes. I can provide you with a freelance manuscript writing service to help support technical documentation and structured reports. If you need specific regulatory-grade documents, tell me the document type, audience, and required standards so we can scope correctly.

Can you write institutional review board (IRB) ethics applications and clinical trial protocols?

Yes. I can provide you with a freelance ethical/clinical trial protocol writing service to help write your institutional review board (IRB) ethics applications, clinical trial protocols, and clinical trial reports. If you share your institution’s template/requirements and the study details, I’ll align the document to those standards.

Can you analyse data and write the results section?

Yes. I can provide you with a data analysis service and a medical writing service to run the analysis (R/Python) and write the methods/results so they align exactly. I can also produce tables, figures, and statistical reporting, if needed.

Can you write a scientific abstract?

Yes. I can provide you with a freelance abstract writing service to write and edit a concise abstract to get it ready for conference submission.

What are your turnaround times?

Turnaround depends on the project scope and how complete the source materials are. When you share a brief, I’ll confirm a realistic timeline.

How do revisions work?

We’ll agree the number of review rounds up front. I usually work with tracked changes and comments, and I’ll consolidate feedback into a clean next draft on an agreed schedule. Follow-up revisions typically incur additional costs.

Do you require authorship or acknowledgement?

That depends on my contribution. Some projects involve straightforward writing/editing support and only require an acknowledgement; other projects involve substantial intellectual input (study design, analysis, interpretation, etc.) that may require authorship. I follow ICMJE guidelines for such decisions.
