Jean Hailes for Women’s Health
The client:
Jean Hailes for Women’s Health is a national not-for-profit organisation dedicated to improving women’s health across Australia through every life stage.
The brief:
To write a well-researched, 1000-word article for the Jean Hailes magazine on PMS (premenstrual syndrome) and PMDD (premenstrual dysphoric disorder), which included interviews with two health experts — an endocrinologist and a naturopath. The brief was to write an article that explained both conditions, the prevalence, and treatments including evidence-based natural therapies
The outcome:
A well-written, evidence-based article (PMDS and PMDD and you) that required very few edits. It ended up being one of the feature articles of the 2021 edition of the magazine. I am now a regular writer for Jean Hailes writing content for their website and articles for their annual Women’s Health Week.
“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.
The Mandarin
The client:
The Mandarin — Australia’s #1 publication for key decision makers in the public sector. Target audience was public sector leaders, senior executives and public administration professionals.
The brief:
To write a well-researched, thought-provoking piece on immunotherapy cancer treatments. The brief was to examine the current landscape of subsidised immunotherapy treatment across Europe (in particular Denmark, Belgium, and The Netherlands), in an effort to highlight that making these cancer therapies more affordable for the average Australian is possible.
The outcome:
A well-written, well-received article (Immunotherapy cancer treatments: the European perspective) that required very minimal edits. It was used to help promote a seminar aimed at discussing access to the new wave of cancer treatments. I was commissioned to write a follow-up article.
“Conducts the necessary research to provide an unbiased, evidence-based view.”
I find Nerissa easy to work with. Her writing is delivered on time and she will follow up if she requires clarification or has any concerns. Nerissa has an open mind and is willing to conduct the necessary research to provide an unbiased, evidence based view on the wellness topic of my choice. She makes sure the content and quality of her writing always aligns to my brand.
