- [Talking Media Literacy with Propwatch.org](https://fionayoungbrown.com/talking-media-literacy-with-propwatch-org/): https://youtu.be/j_nbzyYtI2U I had the pleasure of speaking about teaching media literacy for kids with the folks at Propwatch.org. Unfortunately, as you can see above, the video is no longer available. However, I highly recommend checking them out. You might also want to check out my books about Fake News and Propaganda and Seeing Through Internet Hoaxes. Both are available from booksellers, or you can contact me directly.
- [The STEM of Airplanes](https://fionayoungbrown.com/the-stem-of-airplanes/): It is time to announce another book. The STEM of Airplanes was released by Cavendish Square Press on August 15 and joins a fairly lengthy list of other books I have written for them.   Here’s the blurb: When the Wright brothers made their first flight, they stayed aloft for less than thirty seconds. Thanks to evolving technology, people can now travel in modern aircraft to far-flung continents in the span of a day. Airplanes have opened up the world for both leisure and business, and flight has forever changed warfare and continues to redefine it. This exciting book explores…Continue readingAbout Fiona
- [The B-Movie Cookbook, Volume 2](https://fionayoungbrown.com/the-b-movie-cookbook-volume-2/): I am proud to announce that my second collaboration with my husband Nic Brown The B-Movie Cookbook: The 1960s is now available. A fun read for movie fans and foodies alike, The B-Movie Cookbook: The 1960s features 12 classic B-movies from the 1960s, each accompanied by trivia and recipes. Among those films included are Santa Claus Conquers the Martians (complete with a festive array of green food), the Peter Cushing classic Night Creatures (with some traditional Kent dishes), and even a dose of Elvis with Clambake (accompanied by the requisite seafood). To tell you a little about us both and…Continue readingAbout Fiona

- [Writer](https://fionayoungbrown.com/writing/): I write for both professional and consumer audiences, understanding complex technical language enough to both share it with industry professionals and translate it for the lay reader. This has served me well, whether I am writing about health, vehicle engineering, or any other topic. Publications I have written for include BBC Earth, This England, Modern Farmer, France Magazine, MUSE, Group Travel Leader, Sherpa Report, Atlas Obscura, Mental Floss, The Lane Report, LearnVest, American Cowboy, Dogs Monthly, Relish, At Home Tennessee, Kentucky Monthly, and more. My magazine editing experience includes Kentucky Doc, Health & Wellness, and the KSHA Communicator. Recent Samples:…Continue readingAbout Fiona

- [About Fiona](https://fionayoungbrown.com/about-fiona/): It seems I was destined to be a writer. Some of my earliest school projects were producing mini-encyclopedias on whatever subjects fascinated me at the time: garden birds, Native Americans, black and white movies. It makes perfect sense, then, that I should now make my living from continuing to write about the subjects that interest me. Recent sources of fascination have included French folklore, English history, coastal erosion, and autonomous vehicles. Whether I am writing one of my own books, an article for a health magazine, or ghosting for a client, my goal is the same: to provide information to…Continue readingAbout Fiona

- [Sample Page](https://fionayoungbrown.com/sample-page-2/): This is an example page. It’s different from a blog post because it will stay in one place and will show up in your site navigation (in most themes). Most people start with an About page that introduces them to potential site visitors. It might say something like this: Hi there! I’m a bike messenger by day, aspiring actor by night, and this is my blog. I live in Los Angeles, have a great dog named Jack, and I like piña coladas. (And gettin’ caught in the rain.) …or something like this: The XYZ Doohickey Company was founded in 1971,…Continue readingAbout Fiona
