My name is Peter Kandela. I am a general practitioner and a medical writer. Although I am in full-time practice I have published more than 2,500 articles since l976. I write regularly for The Lancet and my articles have appeared in JAMA and the BMJ, as well as newspapers and periodicals such as The Guardian, New Statesman, The Economist, and Vogue.

The journalism side of my writing has encompassed everything from broadsheet style news stories and conference reports to dispatches from far-flung countries and discursive features on topics such as human rights in the Middle East and restructuring health-care systems in Latin America. Some examples of my work can be found under the medical, feature, and conference report sections.

The other side of my freelance writing is to turn original clinical research into articles. If you have completed your research and assembled your ideas, sometimes it can be difficult to complete the paper. This kind of writer's block is very common. After all, effective writing requires skills and experience which busy doctors do not usually have time to acquire.

When you submit your work for publication, it needs to be interesting and original of course, but it also needs to be clear and concise, well structured, and in need of minimal editing. If this is proving difficult, then I can probably help you. The process is as simple as this: send me your draft article, I will revise it, and bring it up to the standard required for your chosen publication.

I offer a speedy and confidential service, tailored to your individual need, and at reasonable price. Further details of my services and rates can be found under the Frequently Asked Questions section (FAQ).
