FAQ

Below are my answers to the questions prospective clients most often ask. If you have other questions, or if you have a writing project, email me : philippe.reumont@medisport.be

I am physical therapist (graduate - 4 years of college - university) and dietetician (certificate - 3 years of high school). I am also a freelance writer specializing in nutrition, dietetics, health and medicine.

Q. You are health care professional. Why is so interesting to hire you as writer ?

A. As a physiotherapist, my job consists in diagnosing and treating back, joints and muscles injuries, while as a dietetician, I have to provide my patients with an accurate diet plan and to try to modify their wrong eating habits. As I am confronted on a daily basis with these problems I am convinced to be able to write about them *** in a readable and accurate manner.

Q. Who are some of your recent clients ?

A. I have written on lactose intolerance topics for various publications (Gastro, Medi-Spere, Reflexion Medical Network). I have also compiled several brochures for patients, pharmacists, dieteticians and physicians. I am currently working on a brochure for diabetes patients (Merck generics).

Q. Can you provide writing samples?

A. No problem. *** online samples of my writing can be seen by clicking on the link Medisport : Results of the Internet questionnaire on lactose intolerance that leads to my website, or on the link Lactose OK product that leads to the Revogan website.

Contact me if you want to receive relevant samples by email, fax, or postal mail, whichever you prefer.

Q. Can you suggest some tailor-made article ?

A. Yes of course. I am very glad to develop tailor-made article proposals upon request. It helps a lot if client could let me know as much as possible about readers. The more I know about the concerning publication or web site, the better I can custom-fit my suggestions to the needs.

Q. Can you handle tight deadlines?

A. Absolutely. My ability to accept a job on short notice depends on my other assignments at that particular time.

Q. What are your usual rates?

A. My fee varies from project to project and is always negotiable. The following figures are intended only as general guidelines.

$1 /word for small, one-shot projects
$1,400 /week for large projects
$35 /hour for long-term projects

If the project is very research-intensive I might charge more. On the other hand, if the project takes less time, I might accept slightly less.
