Building a Publishing Pipeline: Concrete Strategies for Increasing Your Writing Productivity

As academics, we have been told time and again to write often and as much as we can, but no one teaches us how to keep track of the many different projects that we may be working on at any given time. As a result, we are pulled in multiple directions, and incremental progress made on multiple manuscripts can make it feel like our productivity – and our motivation – is at a standstill. By conceptualizing all of your writing projects as moving through a pipeline, you can make progress on a daily basis and keep everything flowing towards publication.

What we cover:

• Identifying the importance of creating a sustainable daily writing practice
• Discussing ways to use a tracking system to analyze where to focus writing and research efforts
• Establishing a concrete action plan for moving several projects forward simultaneously
• Offering the opportunity to celebrate the process of moving work from one stage of the pipeline to the next
