Now let me create health and medical content for you
“Able to translate complex subject matter for a general audience.”
Nerissa assisted with the development of a number of fact sheets about mental health and psychiatry for the Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Psychiatrists. I engaged Nerissa due to her experience with the subject matter, professional approach when dealing with senior clinicians and experts and ability to distil and translate complex subject matter for a general audience. I found her to be extremely professional, well organised and able to work flexibly with our requirements. I would recommend Nerissa for your next content project.
“Knowledgeable AHPRA compliance specialist.”
We hired Nerissa to help our writing team gain a better knowledge of crafting web copy for Australian healthcare clients that doesn’t violate rules or regulations put forth by AHPRA.
She provided us with a compliance manual that was not only well-crafted and thoughtful but continues to help us provide better content for our own clients while staying within the rules and guidelines of AHPRA.
Nerissa was easy and prompt to work with, and even let us review a draft of the material for any requests we wanted her to go into greater detail on. I would definitely recommend her services to anyone in need of a knowledgeable AHPRA compliance specialist!
“Simply amazing! A true professional.”
Nerissa from the Melbourne Health Writer has been simply AMAZING!
I have worked with other copywriters before, but Nerissa has shown true professionalism on my project. I could tell that she took the time to understand my business and the business needs.
Nerissa is now considered part of our team and I look forward to working with her in the years to come.
“A highly professional, accomplished writer who is a pleasure to deal with.”
I have worked with Nerissa before and have always been impressed by her professionalism as well as her skill, so she was the first person I thought of when we had to create almost 70 emails for our nurture campaign.
It was a big job and she handled it admirably, not just conducting the necessary research and producing the work to brief, but also successfully dealing with numerous stakeholders – something that’s of utmost importance in our organisation.
That I was able to entrust her with this, without acting as go-between, says as much about her as her talent for the written work does. Nerissa is a pleasure to deal with, and I am happy to recommend her to anyone looking for a highly professional and accomplished writer who will take the time to understand a brief and create content that will cut through the noise.
"Wonderful to deal with."
Thoroughly enjoyed working with Nerissa. She was wonderful to deal with and really helpful navigating website copywriting. Really happy with the final result and looking forward to working with her again.
“Her health content expertise and writing skills are amazing.”
Working with Nerissa is incredibly easy! Nerissa is very professional in everything she does. Her health content expertise and writing skills are amazing. She has managed to match our voice and content needs from the very beginning. We particularly value her thorough evidence and research approach. Nerissa is responsive and reliable – she has never missed a deadline.
"Professional, flexible and extremely reliable."
Macular Disease Foundation Australia worked with Nerissa to undertake an audit and redevelopment of our health publications over a staggered 12-month period. We needed someone with skill and expertise in health writing and she hit the brief immediately. Nerissa was professional, flexible and extremely reliable. I would certainly recommend her talents.
“Writes great quality and professional content and has never missed a deadline.”
We always look forward to working with Nerissa on our health articles for our website.
She writes great quality and professional content and can adapt to a range of different topics to cater for a broad spectrum of audiences. Her knowledge and writing skills are always on point and she always hits our SEO and keyword targets. She has never once missed a deadline and is extremely flexible, even when we throw her last-minute requests! Nerissa has taken the time over several years to get to know our organisation and we will continue to engage her to write our content for many more to come!
“Listens to her clients and can adapt her voice to suit the project.”
I would highly recommend Nerissa for your next project. As a private counsellor seeking to upgrade my website and attract traffic, she listened well to my needs and wants, and was able to deliver quality writing well within our timeframes and deadlines.
