✨ Enrol by 16 October to get access to our 2-week Guided Writing Sprint at no additional cost! 💰✨
In the Researchers’ Writing Academy, our academic writing program, we help researchers write scientific papers in a structured way so they can get published in their target journals consistently.
With the Journal Publication Formula, my signature scientific writing method, we have helped hundreds of researchers spend less time writing while producing concise and clear papers and enjoying the process.
I’m also the human to the cutest pup on the planet, into hiking up mountains whenever I can and probably just starting a new hobby.

What I also know is that you are still looking to get the recognition in your community that your science deserves.
That you don’t know how to write for wide audiences and that those high-ranking journals reject your papers more often than not.
And while everyone is shouting “publish or perish!”, writing a research paper is slow for you, sometimes painfully slow. It’s no secret that achieving your career goals would be easier, if you would publish your research at a faster pace.

Let me start from the beginning (no worries, I’m skipping the anecdotes from my nursery days).
After finishing my PhD in Chemistry, I worked as a freelance science journalist and scientific editor improving papers for researchers.
But I wasn’t just proof-reading research papers. When I was revising a manuscript draft, I dug deep into its structure and narrative. Which meant that I was usually recommending authors to implement major changes in their research paper before submission.
What I began to realise was that this wasn’t an efficient way to write a paper because the authors had already spent months— sometimes years— on the paper.
There were either writing coaches helping academics make time to write or overcoming writer’s block — meaning they were focused on the process of writing.
Or there were editors who help perfecting an already written scientific paper. They concentrate on the content of the paper rather than the process.
Before enrolling in the Researchers‘ Writing Academy, my writing always seemed kind of chunky and disconnected. More often than not, my co-authors and I would end up having an editing nightmare! Now, after joining the course, I can write a draft in just four weeks! And I have started to really enjoy writing.
I absolutely love, love the course. Anna gave me a formula that really makes sense. Once I watched the first module, I was hooked! During my enrollment, I worked on two first-author papers using the Journal Publication Formula. One of them was recently published. I consider myself fortunate that I found out about the Researchers’ Writing Academy.
Anna’s formula turns a complicated and oftentimes daunting task into an easy to follow method.
Going through the process of the Journal Publication Formula gave me confidence into defining my own voice. The program is definitely worth the money spent.
The course significantly improved my process of engaging with and receiving feedback from my co-authors. It has cut down significantly on major edits of fully written manuscripts. Now there is less confusion and fewer surprises during the writing process!
The Journal Publication Formula and the coaching sessions elevated not only my writing skills but also the suggestions I can give to my students as they write their thesis. I recommend Anna's program to scholars in all stages of their careers who want to improve their academic writing."

In the past years, I have helped hundreds of researchers inside the Researchers’ Writing Academy write more compelling scientific papers in less time.
Before becoming an academic writing coach, I worked as a scientist earning a PhD in Chemistry, and as a science journalist. My articles have appeared in “Scientific American” and other major popular science publications.
I have worked with many prestigious universities and researchers across the globe who were able to get their research papers published in top-tier journals such as “Nature Communications”, “Physical Review Letters” and “ACS Nano”.

Our work as a team and the way we teach and lead inside the Researchers' Writing Academy is guided by our core values:
We truly want to make a difference with our work.
It’s beyond rewarding to experience how the Researchers’ Writing Academy is improving academics’ relationship with their writing (and thus, their well-being) and what impact our program has made on researchers’ careers.
We are also paying it forward: We always donate a minimum of 1% of our revenue to charities. In the past, we have donated to the Giving What We Can charitable funds, Médecins sans frontières (Doctors Without Borders), and Člověk v tísni (People In Need). Our goal is to raise this percentage to at least 5% as we grow.
Procrastinate on your writing,
Need to get more effective at writing clearly and concisely, OR
Frequently get rejected by high-impact journals,
Anna would love to come on your podcast and speak about writing research papers efficiently, story-telling in scientific articles, avoiding desk-rejection and similar topics!
• Why is having flawless language and grammar in a manuscript less important than many think?
• You have said that you do not believe in “Writer’s block”. Why?
•. What are your favourite strategies to stop procrastinating on writing?
• Can you explain why should we stop focusing on whether an author is a native or non-native English speaker?
• What would you say to researchers who are afraid of “over-selling” their research by using storytelling in their paper?
• How does your writing system, the Journal Publication Formula, work?
• What are your tips for researchers whose papers frequently get desk-rejected?
• What are your tips for researchers for whom the writing process is slow?
I created this training to answer your questions about how to write papers for top-tier journals fast without all the editing nightmares!
You’ll understand how to avoid the three top mistakes researchers make that get them stuck in procrastination and desk-rejection territory.
