Zero-To-Published Program:

VIP Mentorship for Your Trainee

A 1:1, faculty-funded program to help your trainee move a manuscript efficiently from data to submission—while they learn a repeatable, independent writing process.

You nominate a student or postdoc with real data and an active writing project. I work with them directly to guide that project to a completed, submission-ready manuscript. Along the way, they develop a sustainable writing routine, clear decision-making tools, and skills they can reuse for future papers and the rest of their career.

You already know which student or postdoc would benefit most from focused mentorship. This is for them.

What VIP Lab Support Is

This is the highest-touch version of the Zero-To-Published program.

You sponsor one trainee. They get full access to the program plus intensive 1:1 support until their manuscript moves from “non-existent” to “submitted” and they leave with a repeatable way of working.

You stay looped in on the important pieces. They do the work. I guide the process.

No extra supervision time for you. No ghostwriting. Just focused, structured progress.

Who this is (and isn't) for

VIP is a good fit if:

You are a PI / faculty member supervising the trainee.
There is a specific manuscript with data ready that either needs to get submitted soon or keeps getting stuck.
The trainee is prepared to commit around 10 hours per week to writing, revising, and implementing feedback.
You’re willing to let someone else provide the writing structure and deadlines, so you can focus on the science and big-picture feedback.
You can use grant or institutional funds (or equivalent) to support their professional development.

VIP is NOT a fit if:

You want someone to “just write the paper” for your trainee.
The project is still at the idea or data collection stage.
Your trainee cannot reliably commit to ~10 hours per week for focused work.
You’re mostly “curious” and not ready to support them with funding their professional development in that area.
You’re looking for a generic workshop for the whole lab rather than targeted help for one person.

If that’s the case, the core program or sprint will be a better option.
