WRITING PORTFOLIO

In addition to books, my writing extends into many other arenas. Writing for business to promote chemistry products and services via SEO focused chemistry blog posts and feature articles, magazine and heavyweight journal articles, interviewing, web-based writing for various outlets, children’s publications, academic factsheets, and many other formats. Below is a tiny sample of the chemistry writing work that I have done that goes beyond my published books.
