Introducing: the Academic Writing Studio

Posted on June 2, 2021 by Jo VanEvery

The Beginning When I started A Meeting With Your Writing back in September 2011, I didn’t even know if it would work. All I knew was that virtual accountability and community was needed, and that I was prepared to facilitate something that might help. Now, it feels central to everything I do. Participants have told […]

Posted on August 1, 2019 by Jo VanEvery

I am somewhat allergic to celebrity. I will admit that my tendency is to avoid things that everyone is reading and talking about. However, as I was writing about peer review for my next Short Guide, I realized I needed to do some reading with a particular focus on mindsets and vulnerability.  I started with […]

I published the first volume, The Scholarly Writing Process in November 2016. The 2nd volume, Finding Time for your Scholarly Writing was published in April/June 2018. Volume 3, Scholarly Publishing, was […]

4 years of A Meeting With Your Writing

Posted on September 11, 2015 by Jo VanEvery Leave a Comment

A long term participant in A Meeting With Your Writing recently mentioned that it has been 4 years. Wow, where does the time go? I remember when I came up with this idea. I wondered what I would do if no one signed up. Or, worse, if only 3 people signed up and then I […]

Reruns: Holiday Parties: turning dread into opportunity

Posted on November 26, 2013 by Jo VanEvery 2 Comments

I originally published this post in November 2010 and reran it in November 2011. It’s that time of year. No matter what you celebrate (if anything) you are going to be invited to parties. Many of these parties will involve talking to people you don’t know very well — the husband of your department chair, […]

The value of time travel

Posted on November 4, 2013 by Jo VanEvery 1 Comment

I have a Time Machine. When I first started using it, I was a bit nervous. I worried that my clients would think this was a bit too weird. I was probably a bit tentative because of that and so it maybe didn’t work as well as it could have. But it still worked. Now […]

The experiment was successful

Posted on December 6, 2012 by Jo VanEvery 2 Comments

Back in August I decided to try an experiment. I would run a virtual writing group. I contacted a couple of people to see what they thought. They were enthusiastic. I figured out a structure, decided on a time, picked a price out of the air, and started promoting it. This experiment was A Meeting […]
