The Massive Science staff maintains this collection of resources for our members. They cover everything our contributors need to know, from how to tell stories about science in the Massive style to how to become a regular contributor to our online publication.

Getting Paid

Massive will pay you for your published Lab Notes and Articles according to our payment scale.

Training

All Consortium members have the option to participate in our free training program, Storytelling 101. The email-based course helps members become confident finding and pitching stories about complex science, writing about it in accessible language, and integrating edits to your work. The process involves several steps, including storytelling and writing exercises emailed weekly that include participation in the forum.

Certification

After training, you can aim to be certified. This consists of pitching, writing, editing, and publishing your first two articles, lab notes, and peer comments with us. Typically the first article you pitch is a paper translation article, and the second is a more complex op-ed or narrative-style article.

Remember, after we accept a pitch, you go through a collaborative, transparent edit process with our editorial team to whip your pitch into an accessible article. Certification denotes that you have successfully mastered story pitching and writing a science narrative.
