WHAT IS THE POWER OF WORDS?

Share. Sell. Clarify. Inspire. Heal.

In this content-laden world, do you have the power of words working for you?

NELLY EDMONDSON is a veteran health writer and editor, narrative medicine specialist, and expressive writing/art journaling workshop facilitator who puts the power of words to work for many health publications, healthcare companies, medical schools, and workshop clients.

Narrative Medicine

Clinicians, patients, and allied healthcare professionals all come to the table with stories. These narratives not only influence patient outcomes, they also affect how health professionals do their jobs.

Testimonials

As a highly experienced editor herself, Nelly knew just what I was looking for in a health/medical article meant for a consumer audience. She uses a light, friendly, breezy tone to make complex concepts easily understandable and less intimidating to readers.

I was blown away by Nelly's in-depth knowledge of health conditions, her empathetic nature, her enthusiasm – and above her, her spirit. She has real life experience that translates to her tremendous skills as a writer and I would be absolutely thrilled to work with her in any capacity in the future.

Nelly is a superb manager, the best I have ever worked with. She is hugely articulate and clear about what she requires for specific articles and tasks, is always available for consultation.
