I earned my Doctor of Medicine (MD) in 2016 from the Virginia Tech Carilion School of Medicine and after a year of internal medicine training at a major academic university, I decided to pursue my true passions of writing, education, and research. I have since worked on a wide variety of projects across the medical landscape, including independently developing USMLE question banks as the Director of Medical Writing for ArcherReview and spearheading the creation of extensive educational materials (e.g., powerpoints, website copy, brochures) and regulatory documents (e.g., new drug applications) for several large pharmaceutical companies such as Johnson&Johnson, Moderna, and Altathera. In addition to these larger tasks, I have thoroughly enjoyed assisting students and future medical providers in developing strong personal statements and applications for medical school, residency, and fellowship.
I pride myself on providing the highest quality evidence-based medical writing available on this platform. My unique combination of medical education, research acumen, and other intangibles allow me to thrive in creating accessible content for both professionals and lay audiences alike. I am particularly adept at digesting complicated medical jargon into easy-to-read, conversational, and relatable information for the average reader. I set an exceptionally high standard for myself, and satisfaction of both my clients and their audience is paramount. If you want original content that is factual and captivating, I'd be happy to discuss your project.

Hi! I’m Hilary, an experienced beta reader, critique partner, and published author. I provide thoughtful, in-depth feedback on finished manuscripts and works in progress from both a reader’s and a writer’s perspective.
I work across most fiction genres, but I’m especially interested in psychological suspense, thrillers, mysteries, fantasy, and darker character-driven stories. I accept select romance projects when the story also contains strong suspense, mystery, fantasy, or psychological elements.
My goal is to help you understand what is working, where readers may lose interest or become confused, and which areas could benefit from further development. Every order includes in-line comments throughout your manuscript and a detailed reader report explaining my overall experience.
My feedback may cover:
Plot development and pacing
Character development
Dialogue
Author voice
Themes
Setting and atmosphere
Reader engagement
Areas of confusion or inconsistency
I welcome most genres and forms of creative writing. My feedback is honest, constructive, and focused on helping you strengthen your manuscript while preserving your unique voice and vision.
Please note: I do not accept religious nonfiction.
