Writing for Personal and Professional Success

12 Weeks to Develop Your System and Structure for Academic Writing so You're Not Consumed by it.

Do you feel like every time you write, you are in battle because:

• You are disconnected with your project - why are you doing this?
• You are super productive one day, and accomplish nothing the next;
• You either avoid your project or avoid people so you can make progress on it;
• You're not meeting your personal and/or publisher deadlines;
• You're unclear about when you should write, your writing pace, and how to make real progress on your work;
• You're feeling guilty because you're not writing all the time?
• You are discouraged about whether anyone would actually read it?

With a personalized structure and system for writing, you can relaxedly complete dissertation/book chapters and/or journal articles without writing all of the time. 

With clarity about your purpose and your audience, it is easier to create the conditions to finish your work.

You KNOW that academia’s insistence that you write all of the time doesn’t work! You don’t make regular progress because you’re burnt out. You get too little sleep, too little exercise, and have little time for family and friends.

Register whenever you need the program.

The price ranges from $850 - $2000 depending on the support you want and who is paying.

You can register for multiple semesters or an entire calendar year if you have a juicy project that requires more support over time. 

Registering for two semesters or a calendar year would provide automatic enrollment in all online or in person writing retreats. You get that much more time to GET. STUFF. DONE. 

Let's do a complementary informational call to figure this out!

How?

• You will receive your copy of How to Write Your Journal Article in Twelve Weeks and it works as a workbook and guide on each component part of writing. No more guess work about what you should be doing when you sit down to write.
• You will have daily opportunities to troubleshoot challenges and celebrate your accomplishments in the private meeting space hosted on Slack.
• Weekly group coaching that provides writing prompts to clarify your purpose and audience. This is also a rich resource to create breakthroughs on writing content or process.
• Planning sessions that create a flexible roadmap of where you're headed with your project and how that aligns with your professional aspirations.
• Members only site for recordings so if you saw/heard something that you want to revisit, it's always at your fingertips. You can always catch missed calls as well.
• Individual coaching for time to build and tweak your writing practice. Strategize about what works for you, dump what doesn't but it will be your process.

How does Writing for Personal and Professional Success help you build your system for writing?

• Once you are enrolled, we start with our weekly group calls that will give you a particular writing task to focus on for the week.
• We then do your individual planning sessions so that we are clear about what you want to finish in twelve weeks and the mile markers for progress so you can tell you're moving along.
• Your individual coaching sessions will assess where you are on your plan, what's working, what's not, and we will help strategize your next steps that can build your personalized structure and system for writing.

Clients in my program  have drafted three dissertation chapters over twelve weeks!

"The conversations we've had in the program while I was struggling were so helpful. Michelle could hear the questions I had, doesn't give into my panic, figure out the core of what needed to happen, work around the problem and move forward."

FAQ

• Is there a payment plan for this program? Absolutely! It can be as personalized as your writing program!
• I don't want other people knowing I sought help . . . what do I do? All sessions and work in the Slack group and group calls are completely confidential. Participants who break confidence will be disinvited from the program because I wanted you to have the space to do what you need to do.
• How do I know if this is right for me? Because you're tired of always thinking "I should be writing," or "My work doesn't matter," or any number of discouraging thoughts. You want to write and move on!
• How much does it cost to Write for Personal and Professional Success? Costs range from $850 to $2000 over the twelve weeks depending on who is paying and what level of support you need. I help clients get their institutions to pay for it, so there are options

Twelve weeks. You can have your chapters drafted or an article ready to go to a journal. You can be that much closer to achieving YOUR academic goals sanely and sustainably!
