Zero-To-Published Program:
VIP Mentorship
A 1:1, often faculty-funded program designed to help you take a manuscript from raw data to submission—while building a writing skill you can use for the rest of your career.
You’ll bring real data and an active writing project. I’ll work with you directly to turn it into a completed, submission-ready paper. Along the way, you’ll develop a reliable writing routine, learn how to make clear decisions, and gain the skills and tools to tackle future papers with more confidence and less stress.
If there’s a manuscript you’re serious about writing and submitting—and you’re ready for hands-on support—this is for you.
What VIP Mentorship Is
This is the highest-touch version of the Zero-To-Published program.
You’ll get full access to the program plus personalized, 1:1 support—all the way from rough data and vague ideas to a polished, submission-ready manuscript. And more importantly, you’ll leave with a repeatable writing process you can use for every future paper.
Your PI stays in the loop on key milestones. You’re the one doing the work. I’m here to guide the process, step by step.
No waiting on your PI. No guessing. Just clear structure, focused progress, and support when you need it.
Who this is (and isn't) for
VIP is a good fit if:
You have a real paper to write—with data ready and a project that needs to get submitted or keeps getting stuck
You’re ready to commit about 10 hours a week to writing, revising, and applying feedback
You want expert guidance and clear structure so you can finally make steady progress
Your PI can support this with grant or institutional funds (or something equivalent) for your professional development
VIP is NOT a fit if:
You’re hoping someone else will write the paper for you
Your project is still at the idea stage or you're still collecting data
You can’t consistently set aside time each week to work on writing
You’re just exploring options and haven’t talked to your PI about funding yet
You’re looking for a course the whole lab can join together
If that’s the case, the core program or sprint will be a better option.
