Medical Marketing Writer; E Content Development; Author/Ghost (more than 50 health & lifestyle books).

See our new website: www.ContentQueens.com (launch date July 15, 2010)

I am an award-winning medical marketing writer and expert in health communication. Over the past two decades, I have authored or ghostwritten more than 50 health trade books with publishers such as Random House, Penguin, Simon & Schuster, Time Warner (Hachette), MacMillan, Little Brown, John Wiley, NAL, Rodale, W.W. Norton and more.

But I have a passion for e content development--writing for the web! I am a former Editorial Consultant for WebMD.com and wrote the WebMD Health Guides, along with 100s of articles, features, quizzes, games, slideshows, new business proposals to pharma and lifestyle corporations and more.

Currently, I write E Content and marketing copy for Attain Fertility, RealAge, Life Extension, AOL Health, Oprah, KidsHealth, Third Age, and other popular web sites. In addition, I work with Discovery Communications (How Stuff Works and ShareCare).

In 2010, I finished a collaboration entitled THE SLEEP DOCTOR'S NATURAL SLEEP SOLUTIONS FOR WOMEN (2011) with expert Dr. Michael Breus (sale to be announced next week!).

My latest ghostwriting project, The Anti-Alzheimer’s Prescription, written for neurologist Vincent Fortanasce, M.D., was sold at auction for a major six-figure deal to Penguin Books, who released it as a hardcover in July of 2008 (paperback July 2009). In addition, I was the ghostwriter for Beyond Botox and My Next Phase --both published by Time Warner (Hachette)and for Bipolar II for Rodale Books.

My newly revised infertility book entitled Making a Baby (Ballantine)was just published in April 2010. Making a Baby has has been a strong seller for the past decade.

I'm available to take on a E content development project or ghostwriting project immediately. Please feel free to contact me directly at 770 457 8036. I'll look forward to hearing from you.

SPECIALIZED TRAINING, WORK EXPERIENCE, HONORS
A highly persuasive writer and Health Communications expert, I have a fresh writing style that appeals to both editors and readers. When creating health trade books, I take lofty medical information and creatively transform this into easy-to-read book copy that readers can understand. I have a strong linear and logical writing style that is also fun to read, making it easy for consumers to implement the health program challenges into their daily lifestyle habits.

Additional training in alternative, CAM, and integrative medicine therapies.
