  What Is Your Job? 09.09.2026 26dk

  Why do some academic papers seem to move smoothly toward submission, while others get stuck somewhere between research, writing, and revision? One reason might be that you're doing the wrong job for the stage your paper is actually in. In this episode of Academic Writing Amplified, I'm breaking down the different roles you play as a paper moves through your publication pipeline—from researcher and problem-solver to writer, submitter, and reviser. Each transition requires something different from you, and those transitions can create friction, especially when your expectations (or your identity as a scholar) aren't aligned to the stage your paper is in. You'll learn why aligning your expectations around the job you're actually supposed to be doing at each stage of your pipeline will make your publications flow faster - and fix your mindset. If you have papers that seem perpetually stuck in your pipeline, this episode will help you see them—and your job in moving them forward—differently.

  Transition Friction 28.07.2026 18dk

  Why do projects get stuck? This summer I developed new curriculum around this question, and on today's podcast I'm sharing a concept from that new curriculum: transition friction. Many stuck writing projects can be explained by the resistance we feel transitioning from one phase of the project to another. In this podcast you will learn: Why transition points cause friction. How to get over the friction to keep your writing project moving. How embracing the discomfort of transition friction can liberate you from feeling stuck.

  Book vs. Article Writing with Jane Jones, PhD 18.05.2026 39dk

  If writing a journal article feels like a sprint, writing a book is a marathon—with changing terrain, unexpected detours, and a whole lot of mental endurance. In this episode of Academic Writing Amplified, Cathy sits down with returning guest Jane Jones to unpack the real differences between managing article projects and managing a book-length manuscript. Together, they explore why books require a completely different relationship to time, planning, revision, and even your own psychology as a writer. Jane shares practical wisdom about scheduling writing sessions, estimating tasks realistically, and why so many academics underestimate what book writing actually demands. They also discuss the emotional side of sustaining a project over multiple years—and why developmental editing early in the process can save you enormous pain later. Whether you're drafting your first academic book or trying to make meaningful progress this summer, this conversation will help you think differently about what book writing really takes. "You don't have three months to write—you have the number of writing sessions you can actually schedule and honor." — Jane Jones Jane's program for writing your academic book, Book Brilliance, is enrolling now!  Apply here: https://rightprose.co/book-brilliance-live/ Jane's website, Right Prose: https://rightprose.co/ Jane's podcast: https://rightprose.co/podcast/

  Summer Writing Planning Workshop [replay] 24.04.2026 1sa 31dk

  More like ☀️Summer Writing Planning PARTY 💃🏻 The energy was HIGH! My goal was to get 500 people registered and over 850+ of you did! You all are amazing!! This workshop was like a big party with minds blown ("Let's normalize planning and re-planning" - YES!)... lots of talk about how to recover from derailments… and only a tiny bit of resistance to my "work on writing one thing at a time" idea (it's not a strict "rule", just a gentle suggestion 😉). The workshop lasted 90 minutes and I answered every single question, so you're going to want to listen until the end! In the workshop I also talked about the 3 essentials for publishing your backlog of papers (cause I guessed that if you want to do summer writing…you probably have a little backlog growing), and I introduced my Navigate 2-week Intensive program to help you master those three essentials. The program is enrolling now! You can read all about the program, including dates, times, and tuition here: 🤓READ ALL ABOUT THE 2-WEEK INTENSIVE 🤓 then hit the pink button to apply! Applications are open through May 8. If you loved this workshop, you will LOVE my Navigate program!
