How to Know When Your Manuscript is Publication-Ready

I’m inviting paid subscribers to help choose the date/time. I’ll share the finalized details with everyone by the end of the week.

Webinar Description

If you’ve ever kept tweaking your manuscript, wondering if it’s finally “there”—you’re not alone.

If you’ve ever hovered your finger over the “submit” button while a voice in your head whispered, “Is it really ready?”—I feel this.

In fact, it’s one of the most common questions I get from academic writers:
“How do I know when my manuscript is ready to submit?”

That question isn’t just about logistics. It’s about confidence. Clarity. And yes, letting go of perfectionism.

That’s why I’m hosting a free live webinar:

How to Know When Your Manuscript is Publication-Ready

In this 60-minute webinar, we’ll walk through:

  • A clear checklist to determine if your manuscript meets key readiness criteria

  • How to recognize when “just one more edit” is really fear talking

  • Why no manuscript is ever truly bulletproof—and why that’s okay

  • How to stop aiming for a “magnum opus” and start making meaningful contributions

  • Mindset shifts to help you submit with confidence, not dread

You’ll leave with more than a checklist—the goal is a healthier relationship to writing and publishing and a renewed sense of trust in your voice.

Whether you’re polishing a first journal article, finishing a dissertation chapter, or dusting off a long-shelved draft, this webinar will meet you where you are.

Your ideas matter. Your voice belongs in the conversation.
Let’s take the next brave step—together.
