About Us

Our writers live in London, Yellowknife, New York, Portland ME, Salida CO, Mazama WA, Baltimore, off-grid in western Colorado, Seattle, Madison, Colorado Springs, the central California coast, Washington, D.C., and Cedaredge.  In their day jobs, they write books, teach science writing, and roam widely over the earth to meet deadlines for Science, Nature, New Scientist, Hakai, Scientific American, High Country News, Smithsonian, National Geographic, The Atlantic, Outside, Washington Post, New York Times, and many other journalistic entities.  By night, they write for you.
