Summer Writing Planning Workshop [replay]

Academic Writing Amplified

More like ☀️Summer Writing Planning PARTY 💃🏻 The energy was HIGH! My goal was to get 500 people registered and over 850+ of you did! You all are amazing!! This workshop was like a big party with minds blown (“Let’s normalize planning and re-planning” - YES!)... lots of talk about how to recover from derailments… and only a tiny bit of resistance to my “work on writing one thing at a time” idea (it’s not a strict “rule”, just a gentle suggestion 😉). The workshop lasted 90 minutes and I answered every single question, so you’re going to want to listen until the...

What if 2026 wasn’t the year you tried to do everything, but the year you finally did the thing that most aligns with your academic mission statement?

In this episode, I’m officially inviting you to make 2026 your writing year. I’ve been planting this seed for a while now, especially as we collectively move through ongoing funding uncertainty and career volatility. Today, I want to slow down and really explain what I mean by a “writing year,” why so many scholars are choosing this path right now, and how you can begin making this shift in a practical and sustainable way.

I walk you through what a writing year looks like, how it can become a powerful decision-making framework, and how I’ll be supporting scholars throughout 2026 with free workshops, coaching series, and a newly redesigned podcast format. I also share details about my Navigate program.

If you’re ready to lead your academic career with intention and make real progress on the academic papers that matter most, this episode is your starting point
