Nicole’s guide to writing and editing

Quantum Frontiers reports that physicist Nicole Yunger Halpern has shared a guide to writing and editing, based on her years of feedback on paper drafts. The guide draws on style guides like Strunk and White and the Physical Review style guide, covering principles such as active voice, strong word choice, and clear organization. Halpern suggests using large language models to critique manuscripts, but also advises writers to eventually devise their own solutions. She hopes readers will enjoy papers as much as her college professor enjoyed Mozart's sonatas.
