Documents for my ScienceOnline 09 Getting Published Talk

I’m giving a talk today with Tom Levenson at 4:30 today at ScienceOnline 09 titled “How to Become a (Paid) Science Journalist: Advice for Bloggers.”  Below the jump I’ve posted links to two handouts I’ve written offering tips for breaking into publication — folks not able to make the talk might find them useful as well. 


You can download my tips for writing query letters that sell and generally breaking into publication here (PDF).

And here are my Tips for Successful Book Reviewing (“Strategies for Breaking in and Staying in: Getting started as a critic,
building your reviewing portfolio, going national, and keeping editors
happy”).

I wasn’t able to upload these to the conference wiki for some reason.
