Looking for something fabulous to read? Wonder Drug by Jennifer Vanderbes is a masterpiece! Chronicles in depth the tragic hidden story of #thalidomide poisoning in America. amazon.com/Wonder-Drug-Hi…

I’ve never been so moved by a book as by this one. I now have suspicions that my younger sibling, born & died within 40 minutes in 1960, may have been another uncounted thalidomide victim. Great work by author Jennifer Vanderbes. amazon.com/Wonder-Drug-Hi…

Novelist, Jennifer Vanderbes, discusses the secret history of thalidomide in America on The Open Mind.

Glad to see this interview out in Dazed Magazine by Nick Chen. 'Presented by Merlin Sheldrake, Fungi: Web of Life features jaw-dropping time-lapse footage in which fungi germinate like majestic, otherworldly creatures.'

I don't hang out here much anymore, but want all #book PRs and #book publishing people to know that my @LATimes Top Books column will continue -- starting in March it can be found in the Opinion section 'Books & Ideas.' So please pitch me, and thanks for your support!

A few 'secrets':

—Hakai, bioGraphic, Undark, etc., don't have NYT's name recognition, but reliably pay $1+/wd & treat writers well.
—Advocacy group pubs (Sierra, Audubon, Nat'l Parks Mag, et al) pay well & assign fun stories.
—Authorship can create paid speaking opportunities.

submissions for the the best american science and nature writing 2025 (for works published in 2024) are now open, pls bookmark and spread the word: jaimegreen.net/basn

And rightly so because Becky as a science writer is good not only on the science but also on the writing. Really good. Enviably good. Not that I'd envy anyone as nice as Becky.

We found 100 stranded/abandoned dogs and spent over $1,000,000 to find them loving homes! This is one of my favorite videos so I hope you consider adopting a dog :)

It has not yet been a full lunar cycle since my book’s release, and the reviews and excerpts continue to flow.

I am very happy to have an excerpt of one of my favorite chapters in Literary Hub - tis lovely to be recognized by such a writer-focused outlet ✨
