Episode 20 - How to write a winning grant proposal -- Live interview w/ Dr Julie Cwikla

Julie is a Distinguished Professor of Mathematics Education, the author of "From Good to Great Grant Writing" and a sought-after grant consultant.

Episode 19 - The Value of an Online Writing Community for Academics
I talk to Yvonne Rimar, who is in charge of our community experience inside the Researchers’ Writing Academy, how important being part of a community is for all of us. In academic circles, there often is little to no focus on community which can make writing very, very lonely and feel harder than it needs to be.A community structured around your writing can support your writing habits, making you show up more frequently to your writing, be more efficient in a writing session and also enjoy it so much more!The Researchers’ Writing Academy community has evolved since starting the program by listening to our members’ needs. It’s now the place for researchers from across the globe to share writing struggles, wins, ask questions, experience high-touch writing accountability and feel supported by one another.We share our favourite parts of the RWA community and why they all play a part in such a successful, shared online experience for all the academics inside the program.Finally, I give some advice to researchers out there who maybe identify as introverted or don’t think community is necessary to their publishing success. Enjoy this episode and maybe look into joining a community near you (the Researchers’ Writing Academy would be glad to have you!) for support with your writing and publishing goals.(01:15) Introducing Yvonne(02:05) Community in academia(04:05) The meaning of community(06:26) The community inside of the Researchers’ Writing Academy (RWA)(10:50) What you can gain from an (online) community (26:10) How the community has evolved inside the RWA(32:15) Writing retreats and writing sprints(37:15) Surprises from our community(41:10) What’s important in our community?(41:50) Advice for struggling academicsPodcast host: Anna Clemens, PhDVideo and audio editing: Jason RiveraJoin our free training to learn more about the Researchers’ Writing Academy atresearcherswritingpodcast.com/free.You’ll get tips on how to work with co-authors, manage your writing process, and increase your chances of getting published in top-tier journals.

Episode 18 - "I am a writer." - Case study with Dr Jenny Grant Weinandy
I talk to Dr Jenny Grant Weinandy, member of the Researchers’ Writing Academy and Assistant Professor in clinical psychology at Ohio University in the United States. Jenny shares that when she joined our academic writing program, she was a new parent, overwhelmed with finishing her PhD and dissertation. She didn’t feel like a writer and would avoid writing tasks but she knew she needed to figure out how to make writing a sustainable part of her work flow in order to be successful not only in her career, but in her family life as well! Now she embraces being a writer and has found a writing process and routine that allows her write and publish articles in a calm and steady way. Inside the Researchers’ Writing Academy she is known as the queen of goal-setting! Jenny also shares some great advice on how she makes time for professional development in her busy schedule and how she manages to stick with programs she bought. I hope you’ll enjoy this episode as much as I did!Timestamps:(01:20) Introducing Dr Jenny Grant Weinandy(06:45) Jenny’s motivations for joining the Researchers’ Writing Academy (RWA)(11:05) What has changed for Jenny since joining the RWA(14:45) Jenny’s publishing results after implementing the Journal Publication Formula(18:00) How Jenny decides on which journal to target (21:35) How Jenny found time to engage in the program and implement the Journal Publication Formula(25:10) How Jenny keeps focused on and commited to professional development (32:05) Jenny’s favourite elements of the RWA(37:10) Who Jenny would recommends joining the RWA(39:20) How Jenny uses the Journal Publication Formula with her students Jenny’s Google Scholar Profile: https://scholar.google.co.uk/citations?user=Cg5Yc4wAAAAJ&hl=enAn article Jenny published while inside the RWA: https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s10899-024-10287-6Podcast host: Anna Clemens, PhDVideo and audio editing: Jason RiveraIf you’re interested to join the Researchers’ Writing Academy and learn how to develop a structured writing process to get published in top-tier journals time-efficiently, then I highly recommend watching my free writing training as the first step at: researcherswritingpodcast.com/free.
