4/ I hated writing in grad school.

Going from reading papers to replicating one on my own was a daunting leap I didn’t know how to take…

So I mostly procrastinated and made excuses.
5/I even hid from my PI in a hallway once bcuz I know he was going to ask about my progress

I was terrified he would figure out I was a bad scientist once he saw my draft

I was told I just needed more practice/experience, but no one could tell me how to get it or where to look
6/ I didn't know any scientific writing courses I could take, so I tried to google how to's

But all I got was unhelpful info like “tell a compelling” or “relate to your reader”.

Ok, but like…HOW? What is a compelling story?

HOW do I write one? HOW do I relate to my reader?
7/ Tired of the stress, I read everything I could find, from papers to literally every relevant google link.

I also took courses in communication, psychology, and writing/editing.

So much so, I became a professional science writer.

And with that...
8/ ...I wrote the course I wish I had in grad school✍️

‘Blank Page to Manuscript Draft’ teaches you everything you need to write and edit first drafts of your scientific papers.

9/ No more hints and vague suggestions, no more “you just need experience”

My course is written for stressed grad students like me, and I promise it will make you effective at writing high-impact papers

Don't take my word for it, here is the latest feedback on course content 👇 Feedback of 10 students who...
10/ With my course, learn how to:

- Effectively organize a manuscript
- Simplify writing and save time
- Alleviate stress associated with #AcWri
- Increase impact by writing to the reader
- How to draft (what goes where)
- Spot key mistakes and edit them
- And more!
11/ It’s for every scientist, is universally adaptable, and it doesn't matter if you:

· have never written a paper
· HAVE written tons of papers (formulas are still easier!)
· consider yourself a bad writer
· are not a native English speaker
· have no time to spare.
12/ The course contains 6 modules reviewing the main “text” parts of your paper:

Title
Abstract
Introduction
Results
Discussion
Conclusion

Find more info here:
courses.butlerscicomm.com/course/BPMD
13/Each module contains:
· detailed breakdown of “ideal” version
· what info goes where and why
· FORMULAS directly applicable to your draft
· common mistakes writers make
· …and how to fix them
· how to get “unstuck” in each section
· Answers to ALL key questions from workshops
14/ It’s not a one-time class, either!

You get forever access to detailed materials with everything you need to write your draft, including:

-Outlines/formulas for each section

-Do’s and Don’ts
-Common word limits
-Verb tenses to use
-And more!
15/ Best part – Payment

If you are a student, you probably don’t have to pay for the course out of your own pocket!

Nearly all students enroll through or are reimbursed by their uni or lab!

Talk to your professor about your options.
16/ FAQ: My draft is done - Why do I need this course?

This course was designed for you to be able to work hands-on with a paper, and using your own written draft is the best option!

This course will help you avoid mistakes and produce the best possible draft. 💪
17/ FAQ: I needed my draft yesterday– I don’t have time for the course!

If that’s the case, you don’t have time to NOT TAKE the course! For a faster draft, take advantage of my proven formulas!

Want to publish in top journals?

Check the first sentence of your ABSTRACT and INTRO.
Does it introduce:

A: Your project?
OR
B: Your Field?

Learn why it MUST be B and how to diagnose and fix it in your own papers.

- Places to relate to your reader
- Abstract

It sucks when your science is rejected from top journals

It sucks more when your results are high impact but the editor couldnt see it

Helping publish >250 papers in 5yrs, I found that the addition of 1 sentence reduces desk rejects at top journals

#AcademicChatter
1/ If the editor isn’t in your field, they likely don’t know the “so what” behind your work.

Meaning they likely don’t know why it is being done and why they should care.

But how do we fix that?

For this we need to add ONE sentence in two key places: the INTRO and ABSTRACT
2/ In your INTRODUCTION:

1. Notice the movement of the scope of this INTRO (darkest color = broadest scope)

-> the scope is broadest at the beginning and narrows as you go down.

EXCEPT for the last sentence, which is back to the broadest scope.

Why? Example of a scientific int...

I've edited >250 papers and grants in ~5 years.

This volume taught me TONS about writing, incl. specific formulas for each section.
Why you shouldn’t feel bad using structured formulas to write (esp. when learning!) and why they can save you tons of time/stress.

@OpenAcademics
We stress so much as early career scientists because writing is daunting…

AND most of us receive no training and are expected to just figure it out.

When we struggle, we’re told we just need practice/experience, and very few places offer true training in scientific writing.
But…maybe we need to start seeing this for the gatekeeping it is.
Writing doesn’t have to be a mystical art-it is a skill like any other.

When learning, we can AND SHOULD use formulas to craft great writing.
In this way, we can figure out what makes a good paper/grant and WHY.
