WRITE YOUR ACADEMIC BOOK WITH STRUCTURE, SUPPORT AND A CLEAR PATH TO COMPLETION IN 12 MONTHS
IS THIS HOW YOU FEEL ABOUT WRITING THE BOOK?
If your monograph is still sitting half-finished while ‘urgent’ work takes over, you don’t have a writing problem—you have a system problem.
Without the right structure, support, and accountability, months turn into years, your book remains unwritten, and your career momentum stalls
⦿ You feel guilty every time you say you’re going to work on the book—but don’t.
⦿ Your confidence in your writing is slipping, and it’s affecting your other projects.
⦿ Writing has become something you dread because you’re 'constantly behind'.
⦿ You’re watching colleagues publish while you feel like you're further behind in your field.
⦿ You're procrastinating, and struggling to stay accountable
⦿ You've become disconnected from your idea as other more exciting versions of the book present themselves, constantly moving you further from completion
...it's time to change all that
FINISHING YOUR BOOK ISN'T ABOUT MORE TIME
It’s about having the right system to get it done that supports you in prioritising the book project.
No more frustration, delay and guilt. Let this become your favourite type of writing.
Full of joy, creativity and completion.
STRUCTURE
A clear roadmap for your monograph.
SUPPORT
Expert feedback on your chapters

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What if I am just beginning the research for my book - is this right for me?
The 12 month program is for those scholars ready to WRITE or are in the process of writing their book. If you are just beginning the research phase, or collecting data, you might want to wait until you are ready to write so you can get feedback on your written work within the 12 month program. This does not mean you have to have ALL your reading complete, or all your research, but a big chunk of it must be completed to enable you to work on writing the manuscript for 12 months. Alternatively there are options to follow a 24 Month timeline if required.
Does this program work for different kinds of books?
This program is designed primarily for research monographs, rather than edited collections or textbooks. It works for papers into a monograph, or a PhD thesis into a monograph, or an original monograph from scratch.
Does this program work for all disciplines?
Yes. I am an experienced coach working across ALL disciplines, from Arts and Humanities to the soft and hard sciences. This program works for everyone.
How large is the group in the group coaching call?
There will never be more than 10 in a group regardless of how many members enrol. There will be multiple groups to accommodate any larger numbers. You will not get lost in this group, and will get plenty of 1-1 feedback and a chance to use the group as hot seat coaching just for you if you wish.
When are the live group calls scheduled?
The live group calls will be 12.00pm on Mondays and 7pm on Mondays (UK TIME) to accommodate different time zones. Calls will be recorded so those who cannot join live can catch up with coaching.
When are the live co-writing sessions scheduled?
Currently Writing Sprint Club runs on Monday, Wednesday and Thursday 4-5pm UK time to enable multiple time zones to join.
