Science News, August 23, 2003

ELISE HANCOCK

Most RecentTechnology Articles

A former editor of the Johns Hopkins Magazine gives a short course on how to write nonfiction--especially pieces about science. Rich with real-life examples and anecdotes, the book covers the essentials: finding story ideas, understanding the science, conducting interviews with people who may not be gifted communicators, opening and shaping a story, and polishing drafts. Hancock urges writers to overcome any intimidation they may have in covering the sciences. Then, she helps them hone their skills to make stories clear and compelling. Johns Hopkins, 2003, 151 p., paperback, $18.95.
