FAQ

1. Where are you located? Do you work globally? I am located in Toronto, Canada. I work with clients all over the world.

2. What kind of projects have you worked on before? Because of confidentiality agreements, it may not be possible to talk about all the projects that I took part in. However, upon request,  I can provide some samples of my work. If I get a sense that I lack the relevant experience to deliver a project successfully, I will decline the request to work on that project.

3. Which software do you use by default?  I use Microsoft 365 for meetings, e-mails, and document or data processing. I also use Zoom for meetings. I use Mendeley or Zotero for reference management, Xodo and Adobe for PDF processing, BioRender for illustrations, ImageJ and Figma for image processing, PerfectIt for proofreading, PlagScan for authenticity, and Stripe for payments.

4. How do you determine the cost of the project? Taking my education and experience into account, I use the most recently published salary survey by the American Medical Writers Association as a benchmark. At the beginning of the each project, I provide a quote by estimating approximately how long each project will take.

5. Which style guide are you most familiar with? I follow the AMA style guide (11th ed.) unless there is a request for me to follow a different one.
