Welcome to Kickstart Your Journal Article!

This is THE workshop for overwhelmed academics ready to stop procrastinating and start writing journal articles about ideas that MATTER.

Let’s develop your ideas and get them published so you can advance your career and you can help us understand the world around us a little better.

Based on Wendy Laura Belcher’s indispensable workbook for academic writers…

My live workshop will take you from desperately overthinking (and procrastinating and self-sabotaging) about writing your journal article to actually writing it, revising it, and getting it published.


THIS WORKSHOP WILL HELP YOU REVISE YOUR GLORIOUS MESS OF A ROUGH DRAFT INTO A POLISHED JOURNAL ARTICLE YOU CAN SUBMIT TO THE JOURNAL OF YOUR CHOICE SO YOUR GREAT IDEAS CAN HAVE THE IMPACT YOU WANT.

I’ll take you from feelings of fear and failure (and half-finished articles hanging out like groaning zombies in a folder on your computer where they are helping exactly no one) to clicking SUBMIT on your next article and feeling confident that you’ve submitted a solid article to the journal of your choice.

Whether you need to publish for your dissertation, tenure and promotion, or just have some research to publish, let’s get it done together.

what makes this workshop different?


Unlike a lot of online courses that recycle one-size-fits-all pre-recorded video content, I teach this workshop LIVE. (Yup, you get me and my bad jokes, all live!) A live, synchronous workshop means that you get real time access to my expertise and knowledge about academic writing and publishing, as well as the brilliance of your fellow participants, tailored to your article and writing skill level. You get the accountability and structure you need to make serious progress on your writing project and you can ask all the questions you’ve always wanted to ask about academic writing and get real answers.

I’m not interested in creating yet another online course. I’m interested in building a community.

And you’re invited!
