I teach foundational medical-writing courses and share practical insights to help aspiring and developing medical writers grow with confidence. But professional growth does not happen in isolation. As a wife, mother, and independent medical writer, I understand the challenge of pursuing a professional career while caring for a family. I believe busy parents make time; they don’t wait for it. That belief inspired Pen & Parents, a newsletter for parents navigating medical writing and science communication. It is where I share honest reflections, practical productivity strategies, and encouragement drawn from my own journey.

Hi Reader, Thank you for being part of Guanine Medical Academy! First, I want to sincerely apologize for not being as active with my newsletter as I would have liked. That said, I haven’t forgotten about you—I’ve simply been dedicating my energy to something exciting behind the scenes… and now it’s time to share it with you. We’re on YouTube! 🎉Yes, you heard that right! After much thought, I’ve launched a YouTube channel to teach, support, and inspire medical writers. On the channel, I’ll be sharing a mix of content—from medical writing guidance and career insights to work–life balance and simplifying science for a broader audience. I have so many ideas, but most importantly, I’d truly love to hear yours too. What would you like to see? Your input means a lot to me. 👉 Check out the channel and its description here: Academy UpdatesI’ve also been working on publishing two e-books:
If you've been to my coaching, this is similar to what you've received but now it's published with a professional look and sold independent of my coaching.
This is especially meaningful for freelance mothers who may be struggling with time. I hope the stories I shared offer you support and make your journey feel less lonely. You can explore them here:
That's all for now. Thank you again for being here and for your patience. I’m excited about what’s coming next, and I’m so glad you’re part of this journey. To your success,
