When? Thursday, 23 October 2025, 15:00-17:30 (BST)
Where? Online
This online workshop is aimed at international science writers who are interested in writing for English-language international publications. Whether you usually write in a different language or are based in a country where your writing isn't reaching a global audience, this workshop is for you. Hear from editors how they work with writers in different countries and learn from freelance writers how they write in different languages and decide when to pitch to English-language publications.
You will:
- Find out how science journalism can be different across borders.
- Learn about pitching to English-language publications.
- Be inspired to bring science stories to an international audience.
Panellists:
Maria Bolevich - freelance science writer from Montenegro/Croatia
Tushna Commissariat - features editor at Physics World [TBC]
Emma Stoye - news editor at Nature
Jop de Vrieze - freelance science writer from The Netherlands
We will be updating panellists' bios soon. Stay tuned!
Chaired by Eva Amsen, freelance science writer and European Representative on the ABSW Board.
