The bad news: Medical writing is notoriously difficult to break into.
The good news: Medical writing is not impossible to break into.
The reality is that finding good medical writers is not an easy task for the companies hiring medical writers. And yet the demand for skilled medical writers is high.
I created this coaching session to help you become the medical writer companies want to hire.
During our 90 minutes together, you will learn:
- How to prepare a writer portfolio starting today so you make an impression on the recruiter and hiring manager. And no, your portfolio does not need to be massive! We'll talk about how you can create a "mini-portfolio" in the next week or two.
- Exactly how to read job descriptions AND speak the language of the recruiters and hiring managers on your resume.
- Formatting and writing your medical writer resume so it is THE one the company is attracted to.
- Tools that are useful for medical writers.
You are also free during this session to ask me all your questions about medical writing.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I schedule my appointment?
Upon purchasing coaching, a TidyCal link will pop up that will take you directly to Dr. Nonterah's calendar. If you have trouble seeing that link, email [email protected] so I can send you the link. Please note that once the coaching call has happened, there will be no refunds. If you want a refund, please email me at least 24 hours before our scheduled call.
Can I purchase coaching more than once?
Absolutely! If you find yourself in need of coaching more than once, simply purchase the coaching again. But often, I find that people are very happy with just one 90 minute session.
