FORTHCOMING MEDIA GUIDEBOOK

A brief (200 pp) general media guide for anthropologists and social scientists, to be published by Mitch Allen, of Left Coast Press.

I'm currently seeking short contributions from both academics and science media to be included in the guide. If you've had experience with media, and have best practices, cautionary tales, or advice you'd  be willing to share, I'd love to see what you have.

NOTE: This is an informal book - I'm NOT looking for academic articles. Submissions can range from 250-500 words.

Based on your experiences, what do you think works and
what doesn't?
