Double your lab’s research impact, without doubling your workload

Help your trainees produce submission-ready manuscript drafts while saving months of revision time.

Are you...

  • Tired of incomplete or early first manuscript drafts landing on your desk?

  • Do you spend countless hours teaching the basics of scientific writing to trainees, or hope they figure it out on their own?

  • Are you stuck in endless revision cycles with manuscripts that barely improve?

Now imagine a lab...

  • that would produce a steady stream of high-quality publications without much effort.

  • where first drafts would be near publishable, saving you months of work.

  • where your trainees would already possess strong scientific writing skills, giving you more time for research and impactful work.

Transform your lab's publication pipeline and...

  • give your trainees the writing skills they need to succeed — without doing it all yourself

  • cut months of back-and-forth and actually enjoy reading their drafts

  • increase acceptance rates by submitting stronger papers from the start

  • reduce stress and free up your time for grant writing, deep work, and big-picture thinking

  • feel proud of how your lab writes, publishes, and supports each other

  • build a publication track record that makes it easy to apply for funding, submit your tenure package and moves your career forward
