Abstract:
This book covers the essentials of science writing: finding story ideas, learning the science, opening and shaping a piece, polishing drafts, overcoming blocks, and conducting interviews with scientists and other experts who may not be accustomed to making their ideas understandable to lay readers. An entire chapter is devoted to habits and attitudes that writers should cultivate, another to structure, and a third to the art of revision.--From publisher description.
