Promote your book at the British Science Festival/Regional Meet Up
We are planning to run a regional meetup at the British Science Festival in Coventry on Friday September 13 as part of a festival takeover of the local arts quarter, Fargo Village. We will most likely run the meetup for members and other science writers at the festival in a bar in this area. However, the festival has offered to provide an author from the ABSW a slot at an evening of 'lightning talks' by science authors held at a local independent bookshop.

Part-time Science Writer - Project Sapiens
We’re bringing clarity to the world of nutrition and need a science-minded writer to help us Part-time/Freelance role. Could evolve to full-time.
For too long, people have been in the dark about the right way to eat. Because there’s so much conflicting (and bad) advice out there. The truth is, everyone’s individual responses to food is unique. At Project Sapiens, we’re working with some of the world’s most respected scientists and technology experts to helping people understand how their individual bodies respond to food so they can know exactly what to eat (and what to avoid) to be healthier. We are tackling a wide range of challenges – from deepening our understanding of how things like the microbiome impact our nutritional responses to making these insights accessible and engaging to our audience.
