To make anything happen in healthcare, you have to persuade so many different people. Whether you‘re talking to purchasers, professionals, or patients, you need effective communications to bring them along.
I‘m Colleen Shannon, a freelance writer and editor with deep experience in healthcare and specialist knowledge of digital health, AI, and informatics.
Clients come to me for fresh ideas, expert writing and editing, co-authoring, or an extra pair of hands during a busy time. We win awards together, too, including eight national commendations for patient information.
If you're an innovator - or an advocate for better healthcare - I‘d love to help you create exceptional content that inspires trust, investment, and adoption.

No cost, no obligation, in confidence.

Get in touch any time if you want to know more about my healthcare content and writing services.
Most of all, I enjoy taking complex material and transforming it into something engaging, clear, and persuasive. I care about creating content that works for your audience, from patients to professors. My portfolio includes websites, white papers, ghost writing, blogs, storyboards and video scripts, social media posts, e-books, email campaigns, sales materials, articles for publication, e-learning, and more. To see a longer list of the content I can write for you, visit my services page.
I do this all the time, working alongside authors to develop their rough drafts, or pitching in as an extra pair of hands to meet a deadline. If you want to update your existing content, I can do that too. Writing is a process and I can pitch in from start to finish. To see more, check out my services page.
Writing projects actually involve a process, and I can help at all stages:
My clients include global companies, medical academies, patient groups, marketing agencies, and publishers. I have international experience, and clients on both sides of the Atlantic. I work with start-ups and local organizations, too. For more details and to see some work samples, look at my portfolio page.
That would be great! I post writing tips and updates on digital health, AI, and informatics. You'll find me here: https://www.linkedin.com/in/colleenshannon
Rest assured that you're dealing with an established business. I run a fully registered LLC with indemnity insurance, IT support, and straightforward T&Cs. I can work on a 1099, W2, or outside IR35 basis. I'll invoice you in US dollars or sterling, whichever is more convenient for you.
My standard hourly rate is $75-100 per hour (£50-75). I'm a big believer in value-based pricing, where you pay for results not time. You can ask for a fixed fee estimate for your project, which means no surprises. A fixed fee is usually more economical for you, too. We can also agree a subscription or retainer basis for ongoing work. And guess what? Your unique content will always be created by a human (me) and not AI.
Let‘s talk about your healthcare innovation, and how the
right content can move it from concept, to practice, to profit
