When I left academia, I made a commitment: to support scholars in doing research and teaching that makes a real difference. Work that addresses systemic inequalities, that builds bridges rather than walls, and that creates positive change in a world that desperately needs it.
This mission feels more urgent than ever. And I know that in times of crisis, writing can feel harder—sometimes even trivial. Maybe your usual routines feel disrupted, or you wonder whether your work even matters right now.
But here’s what I believe: scholarship that centers on humanity, dignity, and truth isn’t just valuable—it’s essential. And I want to help you keep going.
The Problem: Writing in Isolation & Overwhelm
If you’ve ever struggled with:
Finding time for your writing amid endless responsibilities
Staying motivated without external accountability
Wondering if your work is making an impact
Getting lost in administrative tasks that drain your energy
You’re not alone. These challenges are real, and they’re why I’ve been thinking about how I can better support you.
The Plan: More Support Through Publish Not Perish
To help you navigate these challenges, I’m expanding PNP to offer more structure, more guidance, and more community.
Here’s what’s coming in April:
Quarterly Webinars (New!)—Interactive deep dives into academic writing & managing academic life. We’ll also record and summarize these for folks who cannot attend live.
A Monthly "How-To" Guide (New!)—Practical templates and frameworks you can immediately apply to your work.
The PNP Writing Circle—A community space for accountability, encouragement, and connection.
Full Access to All PNP Resources—A growing archive of more than 150K words of advice & strategies.
10% discount on Other Services—Receive a 10% discount on 1:1 coaching and courses.
I want PNP to be a space where you don’t just get advice but where you get the support you need to implement it.
Starting next month, the paid membership will increase slightly to €8/month or €80/year. If you are considering joining, now is an excellent time to subscribe before April 1 to secure the current €60/year rate.
April Webinar for Paid Subscribers: Reclaim Your Time with AI!
The first quarterly webinar will take place in April* and will tackle how generative AI can save you hours each week on the writing tasks that don’t spark joy—like emails, recommendation letters, feedback on student work, and annual reports.
Discover practical, ethical ways to use AI as your personal writing assistant, allowing you to spend less time on administrative tasks and more time on those research writing projects you can not seem to finish.
Come learn how to work smarter (not harder). Subscribe to PNP now and save before the rate goes up in April.
*I’ll poll subscribers to secure the exact date/time. We’ll also send out a replay and summary.
Why Now?
Writing during crisis periods presents unique challenges. The words might feel trivial compared to world events. Your usual writing routines might feel disrupted by the constant flow of news. You might question whether what you're writing even matters right now.
I believe deeply in the power of academic work to illuminate, connect, and transform. When the world feels uncertain, scholarship that centers on humanity, dignity, and truth becomes not just valuable but essential.
Taking care of ourselves and each other isn't just a nice idea—it's essential for sustaining our writing lives through difficult times.
