REVIEWS

Dr. Nicola Donelan immediately embraced our project despite our short timeline. She jumped on board with gusto, worked tirelessly to meet our deadlines, and produced a stellar product that we were both proud of and incredibly grateful for. I share this journey so that you can understand our interaction with Dr. Donelan, whose professionalism is second to none and exceptional.

We gave Dr. Nicola Donelan the daunting task of taking an Operational Strategic Plan for Research, written by over twenty-five scientists and making it sound like one voice. Despite the short time frame she was given to perform this job, her performance was flawless.

I had the pleasure of working with Nicola to develop the curriculum for a number of courses in the field of Biomedical Sciences. We contracted her as a freelance medical writer to provide subject-matter expertise across a variety of subjects and to write and edit original instructions. Her work was well-researched, thoughtful, and meticulously presented. Nicola herself was consistently professional, dependable with deadlines, and always willing to work with us on revisions requested by the client. She was a pleasure to work with, and I highly recommend her services.

I recently worked with Dr. Nicola Donelan preparing a manuscript that we gave her as a first rough draft. She developed it into a polished finished product, which is now ready for submission to a high-impact journal. Her patience, professionalism, and attention to detail were exceptional, and I highly recommend Nicola’s science writing services.
— L. Sanders, Ph.D. , University of Pittsburgh
I am a busy dermatologist and needed to publish some studies, but finding the time to do so was very challenging. Nicola was able to edit a manuscript for me in a very short time and have it ready for publication. She understood the medical science aspect of my research, so her edits and suggestions to improve my paper were right on target. I will definitely be using her expert services in the future.
— Petra Breuckmann, M.D. Dermatology Private Practice
I recently worked with Nicola to prepare two manuscripts for publication. She developed them nicely into polished, finished products. Her patience, quick response, commitment, accuracy, useful suggestions, writing skills, professionalism, and attention to detail were remarkable.
