PACKAGED SERVICES
Get Published in Academic Journals
Publishing in peer-reviewed journals is the primary currency of academic careers — and one of the least-taught skills in doctoral training and faculty development. Most writers receive little systematic instruction on how to position an argument for a specific journal, read reviewer feedback strategically, or revise a manuscript across multiple rounds of review.
Strategic Writing Consulting offers two structured packages for scholars preparing manuscripts for submission, designed by a scholar with 25 peer reviewed publications, a co-edited Routledge Handbook, and ongoing experience as editor of several academic journals. Hourly consulting and document review are also available for scholars who prefer flexible, as-needed support — see the Book Now page for details.
This service is available to doctoral students preparing their first publications and to faculty at any career stage.
