I am an experienced book editor. My skills lie in editing nonfiction, memoir, biography, autobiography, self-help, and health, wellness, and medical books for consumer readers. Sandra Wendel is uniquely qualified to assist writers of health books because of her extensive background as a writer and editor of successful health/medical books and online content, because of her professional experience in working with authors in communicating health information, and because of her naturally inquisitive style of health reporting. Her personal mission is to communicate health information that readers can understand and use in making life-saving lifestyle choices. She is an advocate for the empowered patient. She brings a passionate attention to detail to the development and execution of all writing projects. Ms. Wendel is coauthor of the book How Not to Be My Patient with Edward Creagan, MD, a cancer specialist at Mayo Clinic. The book was one of three finalists for the Ben Franklin award
