Michelle Shonessy

Hi, I'm Michelle, a senior healthcare copywriter and editor with 10+ years of experience writing for clinical, patient, and consumer audiences.
My work is concentrated in women's health, behavioral health, dental and oral health, dermatology, plastic surgery, and aesthetic medicine: specialties where clinical accuracy, procedural nuance, and patient trust converge.

I create website copy, blog and editorial content, patient education materials, white papers, case studies, and surgical and procedural explainers—often structured for SEO and answer-engine visibility—that build credibility with clinical and consumer audiences. I also bring a diagnostic editorial eye to existing content—identifying what isn't working and why, and making it stronger.

I work remotely and primarily asynchronously: deadline-driven, self-directed, and easy to work with. I'm currently available for select retainer engagements with healthcare organizations, content teams, and agencies that need a specialist who already knows the space.

A background in information architecture and instructional design shapes how I approach content structure and is particularly useful for clients whose content needs to work as a system, not just as individual pieces.
