👩🏼‍🔬 TALK DATA TO ME 🧑🏻‍🔬

Out now from Atlantic Books!

🔬💫💕

Mood board for the STEMinist contemporary romcom TALK DATA TO ME, featuring images of a couple kissing, sudoku, ice cream, data, a golden retriever, and more.

Pitch for the STEMinist contemporary romcom TALK DATA TO ME: “Rival physicists clash over opportunities and funding while connecting anonymously through a mutual interest in science fiction—but when they’re forced to collaborate on a critical research project, intimate nights at the lab lead to an explosive collision between their personal and professional lives.”

Back cover copy for the STEMinist contemporary romcom TALK DATA TO ME.
