The Ultimate Writing Toolkit

The 3 Essential Self Study Courses to Excel in Academic Writing + BONUS HABIT MODULE

Writing excellence at your fingertips.


I know you want to be able to write with confidence, clarity and ease. You want to know EXACTLY what to do at each stage of writing to maximise your effectiveness in your writing slots, and be able to craft the most impactful prose...
...introducing the Ultimate Writing Toolkit.

90% of the academics I work with find writing frustrating, slow, and stop-start. The struggle to stop reading, the struggle to articulate exactly what you want to say. 

How many of these can you say yes to? 
The frustration with the amount of time it takes to finish 
The indecision about what you should do now, and next, to improve your WIP 
You get mission drift, & your core argument starts to wax and wane... 

If you recognise these^, then it's time to make a change.

Get the most out of your precious writing time by getting certainty in your writing process. Know how to move from ideation to finalised, polished output.
