University & Publisher Partnerships

Let Us Develop Writing Support for Your Writers.

Universities don’t always have the staff, time, or writing expertise to support faculty and graduate student writers. Dissertation advisors don’t have time to support struggling doctoral writers. DPL can support faculty developers, dissertation advisors, and individual departments through workshops or individual writing coaching..

Popular workshop topics focus on producing scholarship with a heavy teaching load, designing scholarship of teaching and learning projects for publication, streamlining academic workloads to make time for teaching and for scholarship, and using AI as a research partmer. See our current list of workshop offerings and pricing here. Have an idea for a workshop? Suggest it!

Workshops can be combined with Tuesday Toolbox (a weekly emailed video illustrating step by step how to do a specific writing task) or invidual coaching hours. Coaching hours can be purchased in bulk at a discount and don’t expire. Contact christine@defendpublishlead.com to set up a workshop, coaching, or Tuesday Toolbox subscription.

Publisher Support for Authors, Editors, and Peer Reviewers

Academic publishers spend countless hours on finding manuscript reviewers and sending out revise and resubmit decisions, only to find that authors don’t resubmit or reviewers ask for new revisions. Reviewers often provide unclear or scant feedback

Our customized workshops can help academic publishers on two fronts. We design customized recorded workshops or handouts for authors that can be used as part of an author resource library or develop live offerings for suites of journals based on issues such as responding to a revise and resubmit decision. your st
