Medical Writing

I help medical doctors prepare their research papers for publication in concordance with all relevant guidelines.

Stephen Heap's medical writing is creative, to the point and impressive at the same time.

Manuscript editing by him is structured and thorough.

He is an outstanding expert of statistics and figures made by him are both appealing and clear.

He can always bring publication of your projects to a higher level, plus is a precious support while targeting the right journal for you.

Collaboration with him is inspiring and easy.

And if you work with him you can get the whole package - from scratch to accepted publication.

Not seen such a talented medical writer before.

Samuel Waldron, medical communications professional

Steve has a unique ability to see the big picture and be able to make decisions based on his holistic view. Highly skilled in writing, research and statistical analysis, his approach allows him to efficiently and effectively influence projects to ensure their completion.

I have known and worked with Stephen for a number of years. On a professional level, he is comparable to no other that I have worked within the industry. He has been in the medical communications industry for less than a year at the time of writing. However, what he brings to the table is a skill set a 30-year industry veteran would be proud of. In all honesty, I can not speak highly of him enough in this regard. I am proud to call him a colleague.

To call Steve a master networker would be a discredit. While he is, his contacts, very quickly become friends. His ability to pull people together, lead, organise, manage and most importantly (IMHO) make people feel included is second to none. I thought this was one of my strengths until I met Steve.

All-in-all Steve has your back, he will work tirelessly to get your project finished on time and well above expectations. He will do this whilst maintaining a high degree of professionalism and humility. He is someone you can trust with your client or most difficult co-author.
