TALK DATA TO ME

These rival scientists sure spend a lot of time thinking about each other…and “accidentally” running into each other at the office coffee machine.

Could the opposites possibly be attracting?! 🤭

You’re so irritating, Meyer.” His thought bubble reads: “She’s so pretty when she’s mad.” Back cover copy text for the STEMinist romcom TALK DATA TO ME.

👩🏼‍🔬 TALK DATA TO ME 🧑🏻‍🔬

🔬💫💕
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. Tropes for the STEMinist contemporary romcom TALK DATA TO ME: physicists with chemistry, forced proximity, only one lab, nerdy banter, black cat has a golden retriever, rivals to lovers, spicy, smash the patriarchy, Silicon Valley setting, slow burn, STEM romance, misuse of office furniture.
