Quality Control & Editing
I provide expert and extremely thorough quality control checks on all documents, whether they are documents I personally write or if you just need things checked.
Good thing we had Peter check over our documents, because they were riddled with mistakes that our other editors missed. He's someone where if you need something checked, his eyes just catch things others don't. Will work with him again, and recommend him to everyone in the field.

Checking You Can Count On
I thrive on the meticulous detail of editorial work, from verifying every data point against its source to ensuring precise alignment with regulatory guidance and specific style guides. Leveraging my robust QC methodology—developed through years of experience and incorporating proprietary checklists and style adherence protocols—I have rigorously quality-controlled thousands of documents, including successful INDs, NDAs/BLAs, IMPDs, manuscripts, posters, and more. My process is designed to focus on the crucial aspects of each document while ensuring consistency across entire programs and submissions.
My QC scope is flexible to meet your specific needs, and my best-in-class process typically includes:
-
100% data verification to source
-
Internal consistency review
-
Consistency with client/AMA style guides
-
Document formatting
-
Reference insertion and verification
-
Definition and consistent application of abbreviations
While every document I author undergoes my stringent QC process, I also offer this dedicated service for documents written by your internal teams or other external parties. Whatever the document, I can polish your work to let your science shine through, ensuring clarity, accuracy, and impact.
Need Template Conversion or a Style Guide?
To ensure future consistency across all your most important documents and submissions, I can help you establish a tailored style guide for your company. Whether we build upon existing standards like the AMA Style guide or develop one from scratch, this service provides a clear framework for all your future content creation.
When templates evolve and documents are sourced from multiple vendors, even small changes can create noticeable inconsistencies, often forcing a desperate, last-minute harmonization effort before a critical submission. Protect your hard work and key messages from being overshadowed by these discrepancies. I ensure your documents are precisely converted to your preferred styles and formatting, guaranteeing the highest quality and a seamlessly consistent presentation.
Both offerings are available independently of my quality control process.

Deeper Knowledge
Medical writers play a crucial role, from breaking down complex scientific research for regulatory agencies to helping biopharma and health companies engage their audiences. As a physician, I offer a unique clinical perspective, ensuring your content not only meets these standards but also deeply understands and reflects the realities of patient care and medical practice.
Faster Time-To-Write
While no one possesses universal knowledge, medical writers - especially physician writers - excel at rapidly assimilating new therapeutic areas, complex concepts, and specialized terminology. In the fast-paced biopharmaceutical and medical device industries, this agility is invaluable, empowering companies to remain at the forefront of innovation.
Multiple Skillsets
Beyond core scientific knowledge, writing proficiency, and project management, a highly effective medical writer often possesses a unique skill that enhances outcomes—be it biostatistics expertise or specialized publication management. For your projects, I add to this foundation with my unique physician's perspective, proven statistical analysis acumen, and a strategic understanding of digital content, copywriting, and SEO to maximize your impact.
