WRITING PORTFOLIO
In addition to books, my writing extends into many other arenas and formats. Magazine and heavyweight journal articles, SEO focused chemistry blog posts and feature articles for businesses, web-based short and long-form writing for various outlets, children’s publications, video scripts, product descriptions, chemistry copywriting of all types and academic factsheets. In short, anywhere one finds the need for chemistry to be communicated to any audience, you’ll find my work. Below is a tiny sample of the chemistry writing work that I have done that goes beyond just my published books.
