We support writers through the challenges of academic projects and increase their ability, productivity, and self-belief.

About

The Productive Writer aims to provide reasonably priced productivity events for academic writers. Our research-based sessions utilize several practices that have been shown to increase productivity, decrease procrastination and writer’s block, and combat imposter syndrome. Our goal is to provide robust online support for undergraduate and graduate students through events and workshops. We are pursuing non-profit status to promote access to our events for as many students as possible.
