Who better to guide writers striving to succeed in the profession than a group of award-winning independent journalists with a combined total of 225 years of experience?

Going beyond craft, The Science Writer's Handbook also tackles issues such as creating productive office space, balancing work and family, and finding lasting career satisfaction. It is the ultimate guide for anyone looking to prosper as a science writer in the new era of publishing.
