Writing and Academic Workshops for
Universities & Organizations
Cultivate the Writer (CTW) looks forward to partnering with universities and organizations to fulfill their educational missions. Specifically, we are experts in academic productivity, scholarly writing and effectively presenting.
In fact, the skills of writing and presenting are particularly important for doctoral student and faculty success. The earlier these skills are developed, the more equipped scholars are to meet institutional requirements for degree completion and career advancement.
Therefore, we primarily focus on advanced graduate students, equipping them with the essential professional and personal skills needed to thrive in academia. With these skills, they can complete a thesis/dissertation, graduate on time, publish in academic arenas and be competitive scholars.
We also support the professional development needs of faculty, especially early-career faculty. With the proper support, faculty can secure grants, get published, earn tenure and contribute to their larger discipline.
