Academic Writing Workshops and Programs
I run academic writing workshops for individual researchers and design writing programs for universities and business schools.
Drawing on more than 20 years of working with academic writers, I teach the craft behind stronger papers: how to think about argument, structure and the reader, and how to make better decisions about your writing.

What Sets mehtatext’s Academic Writing Courses Apart
They happen live.
All courses are synchronous, so participants can ask questions, discuss problems as they arise, and learn from one another. The interaction itself is part of the learning.
You see how published papers were actually written.
I use real examples of drafts alongside published versions of manuscripts, giving participants a rare glimpse into how academic writing develops.
The teaching is grounded in research on writing.
The courses draw on established academic writing frameworks from Education, Rhetoric, Linguistics and Teaching English for Academic Purposes.
You write.
These are hands-on courses. Participants have time to work on their own writing and use what they're learning while they're learning it.
Writing is treated as a craft.
Good academic writing develops through practice. The courses help researchers understand that craft and become more deliberate about the decisions they make as writers.
We also talk about getting the writing done.
Writing well doesn't help much if you can't find the time to write. Courses include practical strategies for managing writing time and maintaining productivity.
What Some Say

Excellent. This should be a regular feature of the Business School's calendar. It was so lovely to be able to take the time to think about the craft of writing, and then have practical tips and tools to apply immediately.

It was great that you were very open to questions, and took an active interest in discussing differing viewpoints. I think it was awesome that you were also willing to adapt the course plan as per popular demand.

I enjoyed the workshop so much!! The most important thing for me was an attitudinal change. I started to appreciate writing more than before, as an academic skill and also as an "academic way of life". I am grateful for that :)

Programs for individual researchers
Some of my programs are open to individual academics rather than commissioned by universities. Join us online for dedicated time to write, reflect, and make space for the work you want to do.
Academic writing programs for universities
I work with universities and business schools to design academic writing programs for doctoral researchers and faculty. Programs can be adapted to the needs of the institution, the participants and the stage of their academic careers.
Looking for academic writing training for your university?
Tell me about your faculty or doctoral researchers and what you would like the program to achieve. We can talk about what would work for your institution.
