Until 6 months ago, my only experience in this area was for <em>Fortean Times<\/em>, where I\u2019ve had <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"15 short pieces (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"http:\/\/www.andrew-may.com\/ft.htm\" target=\"_blank\">15 short pieces<\/a> published since 2012. But as unique and prestigious as FT is, that only averages 2 articles per year. Then back in June I made contact with another great magazine called <em>How It Works<\/em>, after they gave my book <em>Cosmic Impact<\/em> a <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"5-star review (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"http:\/\/andrew-may.com\/blog\/2019\/03\/good-reviews-for-cosmic-impact\/\" target=\"_blank\">5-star review<\/a>. I\u2019ve had a steady stream of assignments from them since then \u2013 plus a few from its sister magazine <em>All About Space<\/em> \u2013 as you can see from the pile of issues pictured above.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All the covers have features by me mentioned on them. Most prominent is the one about the Big Bang for <em>All About Space<\/em>. I\u2019m also responsible for \u201cSecrets of Apollo 11\u201d \u2013 the one in small print on the top-left <em>How It Works<\/em>, not the main cover feature of the same title for <em>All About Space<\/em> (my contribution to the latter issue being \u201cDo We Live in a Multiverse?\u201d). In the other HIW issues, look out for \u201cYour Guide to Time Travel\u201d, \u201cThe Amazing Power of Antimatter\u201d, \u201cHow Jupiter Saved the Earth\u201d, \u201cMapping the Milky Way\u201d and \u201cDeadly Weapons of the Future\u201d \u2013 they\u2019re all by me. Slightly miffed about the last title, though, as the article itself is mainly about non-lethal weapons!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are a few other pieces by me hidden inside some of the issues, plus more on the way. I\u2019ve added a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.andrew-may.com\/hiw.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"new page (opens in a new tab)\">new page<\/a> to my website to keep track of them. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I\u2019ve been writing books, ebooks and online articles for about 8 years now, but it\u2019s only recently that I can add print magazines to the list.
