@davey It definitely should!
***TIME-SENSITIVE*** Registration for Boot Camp closes TODAY at NOON Eastern Standard Time. We've got over 40 people now (!), so networking will be fantastic. I see even more graduated #SubatomicWriting students in the mix in addition to all our moderators, so you'll get to connect with more alumni from the MA in Science Writing Community at Johns Hopkins University—many of whom have book contracts, publications, and writing/editing jobs already. Last chance to join!
Last call for our science writing/editing/publishing boot camp, starts Sunday!
Register here, then grab a copy of Subatomic Writing from your local library! Level up to stay competitive.

OCTOBER IS COMING. Writers, beware.
My 4th article for the NY #CitizenScience column comes out Thursday. It may interest #professors, #parents, & #admin to know that #ZeroGPT said 2.29% of my article was AI-generated (wrong: it was all me, a test).
Then I asked #ChatGPT to respond:
Why you should come see me at The Story Collider event this Wednesday in DC:
-Learn about ultrahigh-energy cosmic rays
-Hear how science helped me overcome disaster
-Get your brand-spanking-new SW book signed and sell it for a million bajillion dollars one day
-All the cool people will be there
Tickets: https://www.storycollider.org/shows/2022/11/10/washington-dc-bonds-8wasm

Blurbs from NPR, Deborah Blum, Mary Roach, Dava Sobel, Dinty W. Moore, NASA, and more

Part of me is tickled to death that a grammar book for adults is the #1 New Release in Science for Kids. Again.
The other part of me is annoyed. Make it go back to #1 in Technical Writing Reference! Or back to Top 50 of all Science & Math Books, at least!
