The Collective is the ultimate all-encompassing academic writing support programme.

Sustainable, productive, quality writing is at the heart of this programme.

Make fast and lasting changes to your writing that bring confidence, clarity and excellence. You've tried before, perhaps many times, and you’ve found it hard to make the changes stick.

It feels like another thing to do, I know, but this one investment will change your to-do list - and your career - for ALL TIME

If you are tired of fighting the system, scrabbling for time, wondering how you can keep doing the research you find meaningful in a time scarce environment....

Chances are you have lost your writing momentum, and even your identity as someone who is paid to write for a living. Yes, that is you!

Maybe you've lost motivation and wonder: is this what I want to do? You know it could be better, and should be better.

You started this career to contribute research you felt passionate about, but maybe you feel that passion is slipping away, driven out by endless administrative imperatives and high workloads...  

It is time to make the change 🔥

The Collective is the Ultimate Writing Training Programme. The training journey starts with building the foundation through the Accelerator and other training, before we move onto crafting your writing strategy, optimising all your research and writing and other work processes, before finally elevating the quality of what you produce. A comprehensive training programme with live Monthly Q&As where you get all the support you need, alongside an online community for daily support and inspiration. Training you can’t find anywhere else. Choose your own pathway, or upgrade to the VIP experience with dedicated guidance from me.

This isn't just about tips, tricks or hacks, or focusing on ONE aspect of your writing

This is about holistic writing development: changing how you approach your academic writing so you can enjoy the process, the outcomes and craft the career of your choosing.

🙌 You take back control of your time and energy

The Editing Masterclass

Elevate the quality of your writing

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.

 

The Ultimate Planning Guide

Get your papers , chapters, and monographs written using my Motion-to-Action Planning Framework

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.

The Writing Sprint Club

Join me for live co-writing 6 times per month. Accountability, goal setting and coaching.

Community, accountability, coaching.

Write with me 3 times x 2 weeks - live! Mondays, Wednesday’s and Thursdays.

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.
