Building a prolific (academic) writing practice

Course summary

“Building your prolific academic writing practice” is a course designed to help you build a successful and sustainable writing practice—and thereby support the foundation of any academic career. We all know that academics are, first of all, writers. And yet, if we take an honest look at our schedules, evidence for this is hard to find. This is problematic, as academic careers are hugely dependent on our publication output and, therefore, our writing process.

This course has been made “by academic, for academics” and the teachings are equally applicable to students, academics, and technical writers across the domains. We know the struggles of academics, because we are in the same situation. And we also know what helps, as we have implemented these practices ourselves and successfully coached numerous others to up their writing game.

The course combines time-tested input with reflective exercises to contextualize the strategies to your very individual life. Through engaging with the course instructors, you also have the chance to get personalized advice on how to adapt the teachings of the course to fit your personal circumstances.
