Mina R.
Science Writer, Researcher and Beta Reader
I hold an MSc in Science Communication and a BSc in Physics with Astrophysics from The University of Manchester. I have published three novels that blend storytelling with accurate, research-driven science. As a science and literary writer, I specialise in making complex topics—like astronomy, marine biology, and genetic conditions in wildlife—accessible and engaging. My work requires adaptability, in-depth research, fact-checking, and clear science communication. I write across a variety of formats, including children's science magazines, YouTube scripts, and science podcasts, tailoring my tone and structure to suit each audience and platform. I also have experience analysing scientific papers and literature. This includes beta reading science and literary books, providing constructive feedback on accuracy, clarity, and flow, and collaborating with authors to enhance reader engagement and refine their work.
