“Academic Coach has transformed my writing practices. The Academic Coach Writing Accelerator Course draws on a range of literature to provide tools and techniques you can use to refine each element of the writing process. The daily emails both support the writing process and serve as a reminder to put writing on the top of my list. The effective, efficient academic writing process brought to me by the Academic Coach has released time to enjoy life without sacrificing productivity. ”

“Melanie has designed a no-nonsense, well rounded academic writing course which will appeal to any academic who needs a boost and very practical suggestions on how to carve out time for writing when faced with many teaching, administrative and management demands. The course builds on state of the art research in academic writing across the globe, but is also grounded in Melanie’s many years of personal and professional experience as an academic in UK institutions. In particular, I enjoyed learning about the emotional investment we have in writing, the way to deal with the ‘stories we tell ourselves ‘ that keep us from writing. The emphasis is on making writing a daily routine, however little time we might allocate, and foremost becoming a ‘happier’ rather than merely a more ‘productive’ writer. The daily mini-talks and interactive web-lectures provide a sense of routine that keeps one sticking to their project.”
