Get more support on your writing!
Limited Time Offering: Spring Semester Strategy Sessions
If you’re ready to get where you’re going faster and with less of the struggle that comes from navigating everything alone, I’m opening a small number of 90-minute strategy sessions this spring to get your feet wet with coaching.
These sessions help you gain clarity about what matters most right now, how to use the time and energy you actually have, and how to move forward this semester without burning out.
Here’s how it works:
Before we meet: Complete reflection questions (about 90 minutes) on your goals, constraints, and what’s worked in the past.
90-minute session: We clarify priorities and develop a strategy that fits how you actually work—not an idealized version of you.
After the session: You receive a written plan synthesizing our conversation, plus tailored resources and recommendations.
You’ll walk away with: a clear plan for the semester, a better sense of how to allocate your time and energy, and concrete next steps that feel doable rather than overwhelming.
I’m offering eight of these sessions in late January and February. Booking closes January 26 or when spots fill.
If you decide after the session that you’d like continued support, that $495 can be credited toward either my 10-week coaching program or my 6-month book coaching program—the strategy session is the first step in both programs.
You’ll have three weeks after your session to decide if you want continued coaching support. So if you’ve considered coaching before, this is a low-risk way to experience working with me and see if it’s a good fit.
Of course, you might discover that the strategy session alone, with the clear priorities, realistic plan, and concrete next steps, is exactly what you need to move your writing forward this semester. That’s a huge win!
I help scholars design the meaningful writing lives they want.
You became a scholar because you love ideas, learning, and making a meaningful contribution to the world through your work. Writing is one of the most powerful ways you do that.
And yet, academia’s high-pressure environment—with its relentless demands and systemic barriers—can leave you feeling like there's no time or energy left for the writing that matters most. The kind of writing that drew you to this work in the first place.
But it doesn’t have to be this way.
My programs and resources help you overcome the challenges of academia, unlock your brilliance, and create lasting impact through your writing. Together, we turn obstacles into opportunities so you can write, publish, and flourish.
A little about Jenn:
Having experienced firsthand the pressures and obstacles scholars face during my own PhD studies at the University of Washington, I understand the challenges of navigating academia's publish or perish mentality.
I embarked on a personal journey to learn how to publish and thrive while maintaining work-life balance, successfully applying these lessons during my tenure-track position at the University of Texas at Austin, where I received numerous awards for my research and teaching.
After some deep soul-searching (read about that here), I resigned from my faculty position in 2024 to focus on what truly ignites me: helping scholars design careers aligned with their values to effect meaningful change in society and for the planet!
How I Can Help YOU!
I’ll help you build a consistent and meaningful writing practice that works in real life—not in some perfect world where your inbox is empty and your calendar is wide open.
Together, we’ll not only create a plan that fits your life—we’ll also work through the inevitable challenges, reflect on what’s working (and what’s not), and make steady, meaningful progress toward your goals.
If you need structure, strategy, and follow-through, I’m your gal. You don’t have to power through on your own.
You can write, publish, and move your career forward—without the stress, the second-guessing, or the burnout. And I’m here to help you every step of the way.
