If you've been struggling (and really, who hasn't?) to get your article written and submitted, this workshop can help! How? I create structure, accountability, and community to keep you moving forward.
I also help you learn all of the unspoken rules and weird secret handshakes of academic article publishing (and boy howdy, are there ever a lot). The idea is to increase your chances of getting an R and R decision rather than a desk reject or the looooong rejection.
Using @WendyLBelcher 's #12WeekArticle workbook , we'll make sure you have a solid argument, that you pick the right journal, and that you can answer the "So what?" question about your work. I'll also bring in an actual journal editor to answer all of your questions.
And here's the best part, this workshop is both transformational AND fun. Many people have told me that it's the best professional development workshop they've ever taken.
We start May 24 (and there's early bird special pricing until the 10th!), so I invite you to invest in yourself and your writing and #GetYourManuscriptOut this summer! You can totally do this!! Let me know what questions you have. I'd love to help you with your ARTICLE!!

The number of tweets I've seen today from non-adopted people with strong opinions that adopted people shouldn't search for family of origin is... something. 😬
It's distressing to hear that adopted people are supposed to be okay with being and keeping other people's secrets. We didn't ask for that job and it's beyond belief that people think that other people's secrets are our responsibility.
Here's the other thing: science is coming for everyone's adoption secrets. Lifelong genetic anonymity is no longer possible because of commercial DNA testing. People who have never been told they were adopted are going to find out. Adopted people are going to find birth family.
Part of the reason I'm so worried about migrant kids being trafficked into adoption is because of the trafficking of Guatemalan kids into international adoption in the 2000s.
Guatemala became one of the largest sending countries in terms of the number of kids being adopted out, third only to China and India. (Compared the size of those countries to Guatemala, total population 15 million)
Along with actual child stealing, a corrupt cabal of judges and lawyers declared kids orphaned, even those with parents.
