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.

AP CHEMISTRY

Sparknotes Power Pack

In 2008 I reviewed the SparkNotes Chemistry web content for re-launch, and contributed the new equation writing section of the AP Chemistry Power Pack (SparkNotes Test Prep) book.

APPLIED PRACTICE

Applied Practice Science resource guides help students gain proficiency in test-taking skills while mastering the content of their College Readiness or Honors course curriculum.

This 13 book series was written by me in 2008 with, at the time, reference to the old, legacy AP curriculum. The AP exam has changed some parameters since they were written, and these are no longer marketed as being specifically for AP chemistry.

VISIONLEARNING

Atomic Theory III

Visionlearning creates and provides high-quality, accessible, educational content in the science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) disciplines at the introductory undergraduate level. I worked on a number of their Atomic Theory modules, including Atomic Theory III.
