- I founded
Semplice for a simple reason: to apply a name and legal legitimacy
to my freelance work. If you're a musician, you may know that
semplice is a musical direction to play simply.
Semplice is a company of one - Shane Pitkin by name - and the
entire process of dealing with me is as simple as it gets. I
don't have a clever tagline and verbose mission statement that
make vague promises but ultimately distract from the business
at hand. I don't have overhead, and I don't charge exorbitant
fees. I never miss a deadline. I offer superior work, executed
with exactness and efficiency and at reasonable cost, and I'll
be pleased to supply references who can testify to its quality
upon
request.

- Medical
writing, copywriting, and editorial services
- I began my
career as a scientific writer in the medical communications/medical
education arena, then transitioned to the role of a medical editor
and copywriter. I love the English language, plain and simple,
and precision is my watchword. I'm all about uncompromising
accuracy, technical exactness, and editorial consistency, whether
I'm writing or editorially reviewing a manuscript, creative piece,
script, or slide deck. It's my firm belief that outstanding work
and a reputation for excellence begin with editorial perfection.
My qualifications include a doctoral degree in behavioral neuroscience,
11 years in the medical communications/medical education field,
and a propensity for quickly and efficiently synthesizing scientific
and technical information and communicating it effectively to
the desired audience.
-
- Medical
writing experience
- As a medical
writer, my experience has encompassed a range of therapeutic
areas (including multiple sclerosis, chronic pain, diabetes mellitus,
allergic asthma, cystic fibrosis, heart disease, erectile dysfunction,
and menopause) and has centered on the creation of promotional
and educational materials for various audiences (healthcare professional,
patient, consumer, pharmaceutical sales force) and media (print,
video, electronic, online). These projects have included branded
and nonbranded pharmaceutical Web sites, sales aids, product
monographs, reprint carriers, formulary kits, journal articles,
clinical reports, print and electronic physician detailing pieces,
health newsletters, sales training materials, slide kits, reference
databases, and business proposals. I have gained a working knowledge
of pharma from both marketing and legal/regulatory standpoints
and have had considerable experience and success writing copy,
synthesizing and graphically depicting data, and developing layouts
that meet the requirements of both.
-
- Editorial
experience
- I have experience
with multiple editorial styles (with an emphasis on American
Medical Association, Chicago, and Vancouver styles) and am capable
of editing according to any client-specific style and/or brand
guide provided. Give me a sample document to review, if you'd
like - I guarantee that I'll catch errors and inconsistencies
that others miss!
-
- PowerPoint formatting services
- I also have extensive experience
formatting, animating, and polishing Microsoft PowerPoint presentations
and attending to the so-called “creative” elements
of deliverables in layout, including ensuring compatibility with
client-provided brand guides. In addition, I'm able to recreate
figures and graphs as necessary for presentation in slide format.
Please let me know if I can be of service in helping take your
PowerPoint presentations to the next level!
-
- Voiceover
services
- I began doing
voiceover work in 2001 and have done it semi-regularly ever since.
I understand the nuances associated with the various types of
voiceover projects, learn scripts very quickly, and have exemplary
pronunciation and delivery skills. My doctoral background helps
ensure that scientific and technical scripts get the right readings,
and my recording sessions are always efficient and productive.
Two samples (high and low fidelity) are provided below in MP3
format so that my voice quality can be gauged.
-
- Sample no. 1 (0:39) Sample no. 2 (0:26)
- [High

-
- I'm capable
of recording, editing, and mixing completely in house, but also
have a relationship with a superb recording/mixing engineer and
studio here in Saratoga Springs, New York, for larger projects
that require professional studio services.
|
- For any of
the above services, I'm happy to charge a flat fee or an hourly
rate per your preference, depending upon the nature of the project.
You'll find that I do professional work at a fraction of the
typical agency cost. I can safely guarantee that you'll be very
pleased with every Semplice deliverable.
|
- If you'd like
to request samples of any kind, have any questions, or would
like to discuss a project, just drop me an e-mail at shane@shanepitkin.com. I'd love to speak
with you!
