The publication Pipeline Roadmap

This programme is for academics who want to publish more. Do you want to take control of your career and consciously construct your publishing priorities, rather than being in reactive mode? Do you want to double your output without doubling the hours you spend writing? Then this is the programme for you. Pipeline coaching is for academics who want a predictable, productive and proactive publication pipeline so that they can;

• publish more

• publish where they want

• speak to the audiences they want to reach

• hit their career metrics

• drop the angst and drama

Prolific publishers have active and viable pipelines. It is an indispensable tool for a successful career in academia where success is measured by the quality and quantity of publications. Pipelines enable you to publish regularly and without angst and drama.  A viable pipeline puts an end to the stop/start, feast or famine writing cycles that ultimately end up with less published outcomes per year. To keep the wheels of publishing turning you need to know:

• how to choose projects

• how to sequence projects effectively

• how to incorporate the ‘spin off’ activities that complement and further your impact and reach

• how to organise your time so that the precious writing time you do have is maximised for publishing success

• how to work on multiple projects effectively

• how to keep motivation high and distractions low

The Publication Pipeline programme is a mix of live coaching and online self study modules with downloadable resources you can keep. The combination of these elements of the course will enable you to confidently construct a realistic and effective publication pipeline, and the live coaching will support you for 12 months to ensure you implement. This is not a course I want you to consume and then disregard or let fall by the wayside, so I will be here to ensure that you get what you need. There is an optional 1-1 deep dive on your completed pipeline with me if would like to get that additional support.

Having an effective publication pipeline alleviates procrastination and avoidance habits that you might experience. You know know what to do, when to do it and why you are doing it. The coaching programme will give you the tools you need to overcome the obstacles erected between you and the projects you are really committed to progressing.

The course programme will take you through the effective planning principles you need to understand; we will decide between different types of projects; I will give you tools to work on multiple projects at once; and by the end of the self study programme you will have completed your publication pipeline for the next 12 months. Together in live coaching, I will support you to implement that pipeline and answer all your questions from the course material. Instead of bouncing from project to project, we are going to construct your pipeline with an end in mind. No more saying yes to things you don’t want to do, instead you will focus on how you want your career to progress and develop through your publication strategy.
