Publishing with Nautilus Magazine


I've been busy editing my book, Riveted: The Science of Why Jokes Make Us Laugh, Movies Make Us Cry, and Religion Makes Us Feel One With the Universe, which comes out August 5, 2014. As such I've missed some announcements concerning my publications in a new science magazine, Nautilus.

When I sold my book to Palgrave MacMillan, my editor there, Luba Ostashevsky, championed my proposal. But then she left to help start Nautilus. My agent said that losing your editor is a rite of passage in publishing; it just happened to me early.

Luckily for me, the publisher still wanted the book, and I got a new editor, and also luckily, my old editor Luba wanted me to write for Nautilus. I've developed a good relationship with her and their blog editor, Amos Zeeberg. I've published several articles and one short story with Nautilus, and hope to publish more in the future. It's a great magazine, kind of like Omni was back in the 1980s, and trying to be the New Yorker of science. Check it out at http://nautil.us/
