Writer. Editor. Healthcare communications consultant. Fifteen years in, still convinced that clarity is the most underrated thing in healthcare content.

Tayla Holman

Boston, MA

I got into healthcare writing because I believe people deserve to understand what’s happening to their bodies — and that organizations deserve content clear enough to actually move their audiences.

I’ve spent more than 15 years working at the intersection of healthcare and communications, writing for organizations that range from global medical technology companies to regional health systems to specialty practices. My work spans patient education, clinical thought leadership, brand storytelling, and long-form content strategy, informed by a genuine interest in how health information reaches people and what they do with it once it does.

Before going independent, I built editorial experience managing freelance writers, developing style guides, and copy editing across channels — from email newsletters to TV ad scripts to print. That range shapes how I approach every engagement: with an eye toward not just what a piece of content says, but how it fits into everything else an organization is communicating.

I work best with clients who have something substantive to say and need a partner with the clinical literacy and editorial discipline to say it well. That might mean a single white paper, an ongoing article program, or a content strategy built from scratch. Whatever the scope, I bring the same standard: accurate, clear, and made to meet the reader where they are.

Clients return. Content managers offer first dibs on new programs. In 2021, I was nominated as a featured contributor in Skyword’s community newsletter, recognized for submitting top-tier content and being a pleasure to work with. At Clearvoice, a senior talent manager put it plainly: I would be at the top of the reference list for future work.

My work has always been grounded in a belief that accurate, accessible health information is a matter of equity. My focus on patient education, particularly for marginalized communities, was the thread running through my graduate work at Boston University, where I was recognized with the 2019 Excellence in Graduate Studies Award. That reputation is part of what led my program director to recommend me for a medical copywriter role with the National Ovarian Cancer Coalition (NOCC) four years later.
