Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Ep 26 - "I unclogged my publishing pipeline" - Case study with Dr Erika Roesler
Q: How did your writing feel before versus after joining?
Previously she struggled with emotional and mental barriers, often feeling like she had to prove everything to reviewers, which made papers bloated and hard to edit. After the program, writing felt more manageable, with a clearer process and less emotional burden, though consistency still requires effort.
Ep 26 - "I unclogged my publishing pipeline" - Case study with Dr Erika Roesler
Q: What are some big wins you've seen from applying the program?
Her biggest wins include identifying and protecting a writing power hour, using morning writing to jumpstart the day, and applying a storytelling framework to rewrite a major literature review, which led to positive feedback from co-authors and reviewers.
Ep 26 - "I unclogged my publishing pipeline" - Case study with Dr Erika Roesler
Q: How did you decide to join The Researchers' Writing Academy?
She was drawn by a combination of marketing in her inbox, social media messages about getting unstuck, and a sense that the program could provide durable practices and a good price for a year-long commitment. Once in, she found structure beyond marketing, including worksheets and a supportive community that helped her develop a reliable writing routine.
Ep 27 - The blueprint to having a successful manuscript pipeline - Case study w/ Dr Makella Coudray
Q: How has the Academy helped you with your writing and what changed first?
The biggest early change was adopting the storytelling and key-takeaways documents to coordinate with interdisciplinary collaborators, which reduced the number of rounds of feedback and helped bring teams on board quickly, ultimately speeding up publication timelines.
Ep 27 - The blueprint to having a successful manuscript pipeline - Case study w/ Dr Makella Coudray
Q: What would you tell someone who is where you were before you joined The Researchers Writing Academy?
Don't spread yourself thin by only doing course sections relevant to your current project; instead, engage with the full content to gain a holistic framing of your writing projects. Also, attend planning meetings and lean into the community for support and accountability.
