Holistic Writing Training in 4 key areas:
Habit, Strategy, Optimisation and Elevation.

❌ Waiting for the "perfect time" to focus on your writing is why you're falling behind.

⏳ If you keep telling yourself you'll write "when things calm down," your career will stay on pause.

Right now, your writing feels like a battle you’re always losing.

You sit down to write… but nothing happens.
You plan to work on your paper… but something more urgent always gets in the way.
You know publishing is key to your career… but you just can’t make it happen consistently.

Sound familiar? You're not alone.

🚨 Every time you put your writing last, you feel:
❌ Overwhelmed, guilty, and like you’re failing
❌ Frustrated that others in your field are publishing while your ideas stay trapped in your head
❌ Disconnected from your writing—something that once felt exciting now feels stressful and exhausting
❌ Annoyed that the only time you can “really” write is in the evenings or weekends, taking you away from your life
❌ Trapped in a cycle of binge-writing before deadlines, sacrificing your work-life balance

It’s Not About Time—It’s About the Right System.

The real problem? It’s not that you don’t have time to write. It’s that you don’t have a structured, sustainable systemto make writing a priority—even in a demanding academic career.

Inside The Academic Writer’s Collective, you’ll:
✅ Develop a rock-solid, sustainable writing habit that fits into your workweek—without stress
✅ Build a strong publication pipeline so you can get your ideas into the field and advance your career
✅ Feel confident and in control of your writing, instead of dreading it
✅ Learn techniques to optimise both the quantity and quality of your writing—so your work gets noticed
✅ Master a writing-focused mindset that ensures your publications don’t get sidelined

The Time to Fix This Is NOW.

Every week you delay, the harder it gets to come back to your writing. The guilt builds. The frustration grows. And your career progress slows.

But it doesn’t have to be this way.

✅ Follow a proven plan to write your manuscript in 12 months using my WRITER framework

My 6 Step Editing Roadmap enables you to elevate the quality of your writing for high impact

Professional editing techniques are required to push your writing to the highest possible level

Writing complex material and communicating your ideas clearly to someone else requires a professional approach to editing so that you can build effective bridges between you and them

Chances are you spend way too much time going round in circles on your text...and you have probably started to feel a little frustrated at how long FINISHING a piece of work takes, because you can't seem to get your writing to the right standard.

Or you start by trying to perfect your writing when you don’t even know where you are going yet.

Are you feeling like you stare at your text for hours, or avoid it altogether?

Do you dread submission because you don't know if the piece is really good enough?

You know that you NEED to change something, but are not sure where to start

Start now. Start here. This course will give you the skills to create text of the highest quality.

This is the EXACT system I have taught to hundreds of successful academics and PhD students, to sharpen their text, showcase their argument and contribution and produce elegant work.

2 hour Masterclass for Academics to curate a value driven publication pipeline + bonus module 

Don't just plan, execute.

You know you need to be able to produce a publication pipeline. You know there are better ways to choose your projects, and manage your time, and you are tired of doing things the hard way...

Chances are, you find planning unpleasant, or you LOVE planning, but not the doing. Planning either makes you recoil with ALL THOSE PROMISES, or you can't get enough of list making and hoping and dreaming... 

This is not how to plan your work. You need a strategy that is executable, and key behavioural cues that enable you to reflect and review progress.

Learn to plan and execute the next 12 months academic work, and let go of binge writing, procrastination and feeling frustrated when you don't meet your own goals.

This is the EXACT Framework that saved hours and protected me from burnout. I went from being reactive about the kind of research I did, to making smart choices that spoke to my values and advanced my career. That gave me choices.

More life. Less work. Different research.

Don't you want the same?

The secret to being a productive writer - who writes within their paid working hours - is to have a realistic grasp of the time you have and set writing goals that fit your time. Whilst this seems obvious, ask any academic how long it takes them to write an article and you will quickly understand how few academics have a realistic understanding of how long outputs take to execute.

Being able to plan your research effectively - and with confidence that you can predict and then meet deadlines - is crucial for maximising the small amount of time you have to get your writing done.

BUT THAT IS NOT SUFFICIENT!

You need to know what projects to choose, and when to do them, and how to switch and build a pipeline. You also need to know how to review your progress in a way that supports your development, not hinders it.

This workshop will make you master of your time and enable effective work planning for your academic year.

Community, accountability, coaching.

The Writing Sprint Club is for academic writers (PhD and faculty) who want to create guaranteed writing time every week to push their projects forward. Research on writing productivity (eg Boice, amongst many others) tells us that social writing - that is regular writing amongst others - results in more outputs. It is that simple. It has been measured time and again. It fuels positive emotions around writing and creates additional social benefits beyond the time spent writing. Writing clubs become organic engines of support outside of your department, your discipline and your country, and you are engaged in a common endeavour with people who truly understand. Paying a fee actually increases the effectiveness of social writing because it creates an appointment you feel you should keep. Having an outside facilitator again ensures you are more likely to turn up as opposed to in-house writing sessions.
