About me
Early in my academic career, I began publishing my first research papers, focusing on English for Academic Purposes (EAP). Despite having already completed both a dissertation and a doctoral thesis, I quickly realized that, for many, submitting a paper to a journal was a very different challenge.
My first submission, a small-scale study, proved to be a struggle. I was caught off guard — after years of rigorous academic writing, I had expected a smoother process. More importantly, the experience revealed a critical lesson: success in academic publishing isn’t just about knowledge or expertise — it’s about emphasising the research journey and its contribution, which can only be fully realized through mastering key aspects of writing.
These aspects include continuity and connection between parts of the research, logical flow, and rigorous evaluation. Achieving them requires a deep understanding of language choices and structural decisions, which allow each piece of a paper to click seamlessly into place.
Of course, every journal has its own criteria, expectations, and underlying logic. Tailoring a paper to meet those standards is as important as the research itself. Yet one principle remains constant: clarity and cohesion. Clear communication — not only in individual sentences but across the structure, argumentation, and reasoning of a paper — ensures that the research journey, its contribution, and its insights are fully visible and appreciated.
My journey through undergraduate, postgraduate, and doctoral research, and later through teaching and coaching students and research writers, taught me how writing functions beneath the surface. That foundation has allowed me to effectively coach writers to engage confidently with feedback, refine their work, and navigate the complex world of academic writing — turning initial setbacks into learning opportunities and eventual success.
As an EAP teacher and writing coach, I’ve spent years helping students and colleagues diagnose and fix the hidden issues that weaken their writing. I’ve reviewed papers, advised peers, and supported countless learners as they turned uncertainty into confidence.
Drawing on these experiences, I created The Writing Bridge — a coaching programme that combines self-assessment, guided reflection, deliberate practice, insightful feedback, and personalised tutoring. It’s a process designed not only to transform your paper, but to transform you as a writer — like finding the exact combination that unlocks a vault.
The Writing Bridge
Are you an early-career researcher, postdoc, or professional ready to turn your research into a published paper — but struggle with academic writing, structuring, or feedback?
Publishing is crucial for career advancement and job security, yet slow progress or repeated rejections can hold you back while others move ahead. It’s time to sharpen your writing skills, gain clarity on the publication process, and finally get your work accepted.
The Writing Coaching Programme takes you on a journey of discovery where you reflect on your own writing, gain fresh perspectives from peers, and receive personalised one-to-one guidance that helps fast-track your paper review process and bring your manuscript closer to publication.
My 4-step clarity model
Unlike generic online courses, The Writing Bridge offers a flexible, carefully designed curriculum tailored specifically to your writing needs and goals.
Below is a glimpse of some of the key “ingredients”—but the real magic lies in how these elements work together to deliver the results you want. (You’ll need to watch the webinar to see how it all comes together.)
Weekly workshops to build skills and momentum
Guided self-assessment and reflection to help you become a more independent, confident academic writer
Peer feedback focused on your writing—not generic templates or vague advice
One-to-one tutorials for truly personalized support
All of this combines to give you motivation, structure, and accountability, keeping you on track and moving forward.
Each of these steps acts as a filter or layer that helps you revise and refine your paper until only the strongest version remains. Along the way, you identify and remove the bottleneck that keeps you stuck in the reviewer feedback loop.
By the end of the programme, you’ll have gained new insights into your writing habits and what makes writing effective and clear—insights that will set you up to publish one paper after another.
What you’ll gain
Clarity and structure to overcome procrastination and overwhelm
Transferable academic skills for publishing and refined research writing
Confidence to get your paper accepted and progress your career
Ongoing support beyond the programme while you finalise your work
What You will cover
Through hands-on workshops (e.g. structure and coherence), regular submissions, checkpoints, and personalised tutorials, you’ll master the skills to:
-Clarify the story behind your data
– Organise your ideas into a clear, compelling structure
-Navigate the review process with confidence and strategy
-Overcome perfectionism, self-doubt, and confusion that can stall publication
