New Book Release Date: September 15, 2026
This is what I’ve seen across thousands of grant narratives: Writers follow every grammar rule perfectly, then wonder why reviewers miss the innovation. The problem isn’t rule-breaking — it is misalignment between writer placement of information and reader expectations. That cognitive friction costs clarity. The Reader Expectation Approach fixes this by teaching you how reviewers’ minds actually process your text. And it’s learnable.
My upcoming book, The New Science of Scientific Writing, updates and expands on my landmark 1990 American Scientist article. It illuminates the difference between grammatically correct and cognitively clear.
This book will be available in 18 different languages within the year. Thanks to the distinguished Anthem Press in London and First Hill Books.
