Defend & Publish: Recent Episodes

View Details

In this episode of Defend, Publish, and Lead, Christine Tulley argues that writing project management isn't separate from the scholarly writing process but an essential part of it, since standard "writing process" models (drafting, revising, publishing) only look at a single project in isolation and ignore how projects interact. She lays out four reasons why writing project management is a built in part of the scholarly writing process.

In Episode 285 of the Defend, Publish, and Lead podcast, host Christine Tulley tackles the anxiety of being scooped, when another scholar is about to publish something strikingly similar to your work-in-progress. She offers four practical strategies: carefully examine the competing project to assess how it truly differs from yours; consider whether the overlap signals a hot topic with room for multiple voices; identify different venues or presses to find your own lane; and, most counterintuitively, reach out to the potential scooper as a possible collaborator.

In Episode 284 of the Defend, Publish, and Lead podcast, host Christine Tulley interviews productivity author Laura Vanderkam about her newly released book Big Time. In this book, Vanderkam centers on the idea of viewing time as abundant rather than scarce. She introduces the concept of "golden hours", the four to five hours between work and bedtime on weeknights, arguing that these underutilized stretches can be reclaimed for rejuvenation, socializing, and personal enjoyment rather than defaulting to doomscrolling. She also encourages academics to think in weeks (168 hours) rather than days, since the full week reveals far more available time than any single 24-hour period suggests. For academics juggling increasingly fragmented schedules — more classes, more committees, more email — Vanderkam offers three core strategies: track your time for a full week to see where it actually goes, set aside a dedicated weekly planning session to assign priorities to specific time slots, and always identify a backup research block in advance so that when life inevitably intervenes, progress doesn't grind to a halt. Tulley connects these ideas to the challenges of carving out scholarly writing time, and the conversation closes with Vanderkam emphasizing that time tracking isn't about self-judgment, but about ensuring the stories we tell ourselves about our time actually match reality.

In this episode host Christine Tulley builds on Episode 281 to walk listeners through the transition from finishing one writing project to launching the next. She introduces the idea of thinking in two buckets: short-term, temporary projects (like an upcoming conference presentation) and the next substantive writing project, and shows how she maps both onto a Summer 2026 Project Progress Tracker used in her accountability group. Using her own situation as a live example — a TAA Summer Institute presentation due June 13th followed by a long-neglected, half-finished article she's committed to completing by early August — she emphasizes that the transition period between projects is critical and often underestimated. Key advice includes using a tool like PenZu to jot orientation notes before diving in, locating all project files and scattered materials in advance so that valuable writing time isn't lost to hunting, and allowing ideas for the next project to quietly percolate before the official start date. She closes with a reminder about the TAA Summer Institute on June 12–13, highlighting her own mid-career writing lab, a session for new and aspiring authors led by Dr. Pat Goodson, and a keynote by Brian Alexander on how the AI revolution is reshaping academic and textbook publishing.

In Episode 282 of the Defend, Publish, and Lead podcast, host Christine Tulley interviews Dr. Bryan Alexander about how AI is reshaping textbook and academic publishing. Alexander is a futurist, Georgetown senior scholar, and keynote speaker for the TAA Summer Institute. He offers a broad, forward-looking view, beginning with the larger forces already destabilizing higher education: shifting demographics, changing economics, enrollment pressures, and evolving cultural attitudes toward the academy. He then surveys the technological landscape — the maturation of ebooks, the ongoing challenge of mobile-friendly scholarship, extended reality, and open access — before zeroing in on AI's multifaceted impact. Topics include the spectrum of ways authors are using AI to write (from full generation to light assistance), the thorny intellectual property questions surrounding AI training data and publisher licensing deals, the flood of AI-generated or AI-assisted content entering publishing pipelines, and unresolved questions around disclosure and verification. Alexander also highlights tools like NotebookLM as a virtual colleague for writers and acknowledges the deep divide within academia between AI enthusiasts and those who want it kept out of scholarly work entirely. He closes by arguing that academia is uniquely positioned to lead society's broader reckoning with AI by drawing on expertise across psychology, economics, computer science, and history, and that this moment represents both a challenge and an opportunity for scholarly writers and publishers.

In Episode 281 of the Defend, Publish, and Lead podcast, host Christine Tulley shares a practical post-project workflow for academics who have just completed a major writing project — drawing directly from her own experience of turning in a book manuscript days earlier. She outlines five key steps. First, genuinely celebrate and resist the urge to immediately dive into the next project. Second, write closing notes (she uses the free online notebook PenZu) to capture unfinished ideas, figure renaming quirks, missing references, and anything that needs attention when page proofs arrive. Third, save and organize browser tabs into a dedicated bookmarks folder rather than simply closing them, so sources are easy to locate later. Fourth, preserve any unused project bits — such as formatted references that didn't make the final manuscript — as a gift to your future self. And fifth, look ahead to the next project with intention. Tulley also uses the episode to highlight Defend, Publish, and Lead's summer accountability group and to preview her upcoming mid-career writing lab at the TAA Summer Institute, where she'll help veteran academics keep their writing pipelines moving despite increasing administrative and mentorship demands.

In Episode 280 host Christine Tulley interviews Dr. Greg Lewbart, a veterinarian and board-certified zoological medicine specialist at NC State, about his three-decade journey as a textbook author and editor. Lewbart traces his path from working as a corporate fish veterinarian in the 1980s to publishing his first book on fish clinical cases in 1998 — now in its third edition — and editing contributed volumes on topics like invertebrate medicine, where he coordinates roughly 40 specialist contributors. He reflects on how the publishing landscape has changed, shares practical advice for aspiring textbook authors on crafting proposals, identifying publishers, and managing contributors (including the wisdom of preferring an upfront "no" over a missed deadline), and discusses his long involvement with the Textbook & Academic Authors Association (TAA), which he discovered in 2005 after winning a Texty Award. The episode closes with a preview of Lewbart's upcoming learning lab at the TAA Summer Institute, where he'll guide attendees through the full textbook authoring journey, along with a time management tip drawn from his experience as a marathon runner: chip away consistently in small sessions rather than waiting for large blocks of time.

In Episode 279 of Defend, Publish, and Lead, host and Executive Writing Coach Christine Tulley tackles one of the most common struggles for faculty: the summer that gets away from you. With the best intentions but little structure, academic summers often slip by before meaningful writing or scholarship gets done. Christine explains exactly why that happens, from kids home from school to family travel to teaching obligations that bleed right into the new term. To help listeners fight back, she introduces a Summer Project Progress Tracker (given away at a recent free webinar) that uses simple yes/no or time-logged entries to build momentum without relying on judgment of a "good" versus "bad" writing day. She also announces the return of the Summer Faculty Writing Group — a weekly Monday accountability check-in running all summer for just $25 — where participants share progress, troubleshoot challenges, and receive a new writing strategy each week. Christine wraps up with a mention of the Textbook and Academic Authors Association's Summer Writing Institute for those looking to deepen their skills. Whether you're aiming for restoration or project completion this summer, this episode is your nudge to build in the structure you need before the season slips by.

In Episode 278 of Defend, Publish, and Lead, host Christine Tulley talks with Dr. Jackie Hoermann-Elliott and Dr. Jenna Morton-Aiken about their co-edited book, Parenting While PhDing (Rutgers University Press). The book tackles a topic largely ignored in academic literature — what it's really like to become a parent while pursuing a PhD.

Jackie and Jenna speak from personal experience. Their book is designed for two audiences: graduate students balancing parenthood and the administrators who support them. The chapters are short and story-driven, with contributors spanning fields like STEM, medicine, and writing studies. The collection brings in a wide range of voices, including fathers, queer parents, parents of color, and people who have navigated infertility or adoption.

The book's core purpose is bigger than logistics. It's about opening up honest conversations on visibility, institutional support, and what it actually looks like when academic life and parenthood intersect.

In Episode 277 of Defend, Publish, and Lead, host Christine Tulley sits down with Dr. Pat Goodson, health education professor turned prolific academic writing coach, to explore practical strategies for building a sustainable writing life. Dr. Goodson shares how her journey into academic writing began not from an English background, but from listening to struggling graduate students and eventually developing a university writing support program called POWER (Promoting Outstanding Writing for Excellence in Research). The conversation covers her latest book, Keep Writing: 101 Strategies for Academic Writers, along with favorites like 90 Days, 90 Ways and Becoming an Academic Writer, all designed to help faculty and grad students move past writing blocks, ditch ineffective habits, and develop intentional, personalized systems. Christine also highlights her campus "write and run" sessions — 22-minute focused writing sprints — as a real-world example of fitting writing into a busy schedule. Both guests close with encouragement for listeners to use the approaching summer as a chance to revisit and strengthen their writing routines, and they give a preview of Dr. Goodson's upcoming Learning Lab, "It Takes a System," at the Textbook and Academic Authors Association Institute.

In Episode 276 Christine Tulley sits down with Dr. Wendy Tietz from Kent State University and Dr. Tracie Miller from Franklin University to talk about textbook authoring careers. This is a path many academics never consider, yet one that can become a defining and decades-long creative endeavor. Both guests share how they stumbled into their first textbook deals not through deliberate planning, but through candid feedback at the right moment. Together, they explore how textbook writing differs from other scholarly genres — particularly its collaborative, audience-driven nature and the constant cycle of revision, edition-planning, and storytelling required to justify each new release to publishers. They also tackle the human side of the work: managing co-author transitions, navigating editor turnover, sustaining a brand, and balancing it all alongside full-time faculty roles.

In Episode 275 of Defend, Publish, and Lead, Christine Tulley tackles the particular chaos of April in the academic calendar — a month packed with grading, end-of-year wrap-up, graduation requirements, and summer prep, all while writing obligations quietly fall by the wayside. Using the image of a pile of empty Easter eggs still sitting on her office floor, alongside an unpacked conference bag and two unemptied suitcases, she illustrates how small undone tasks create visual and mental background noise that compounds an already overwhelming season. Her solution is the "do one thing today" approach: identify a single task completable in 15 to 20 minutes and just handle it, because the quick win creates momentum and gives the brain a sense of forward progress — even when larger obligations like a looming book deadline or a backlog of student papers aren't yet resolved. She closes by encouraging listeners to ask themselves: what is one thing I can do today that will make tomorrow a little easier?

In Episode 274, Christine Tulley addresses the familiar end-of-March crunch that faculty and graduate students face — a point in the semester when obligations to others have quietly piled up. Her solution is a "catch-up list" of everything she owes other people, which she walks through in detail: back grading for two writing classes, course substitution memos for graduating students, a tuition remission form, follow-up materials from a workshop, thank-you correspondence, outreach to struggling students at risk of failing, joining a special interest group, and posting workshop information — plus a book manuscript due in mid-April.

Her core advice is to organize such a list into time buckets (tasks under 15 minutes, under an hour, or 2+ hours) to make it feel less overwhelming, tackle the quickest items first for a momentum boost, and then block a dedicated chunk of time — in her case, a full Monday morning — to power through the rest. The broader takeaway is that letting these obligations accumulate creates mental background noise that interferes with writing and other focused work, so clearing them out periodically is itself a productivity strategy.

After a multi-day break, it took about 15 minutes to get back in. She reread five pages and made notes. On back-to-back days, it took as little as 2 minutes.

What made the difference? Simple strategies like leaving her document open, using Word's "pick up where you left off" feature, and jotting a page number on a sticky note. Her big takeaway: track your own ramp-up time. Be honest. Some people need 30 minutes to settle in. That time counts and should be part of your plan. She also suggests splitting the warm-up. Open your document and find your place earlier in the day. Then, when it's time to write, you can jump right in.

The episode ends with a nod to sponsor Textbook and Academic Authors. They offer a microlearning video library for scholarly writers.

In this episode Christine Tulley guides academic authors through the process of selecting the right university press for their work, a high-stakes decision particularly for tenure-track faculty at research institutions. She walks through key strategies: using the Association of University Presses' subject grid (available in Excel or PDF) to identify presses active in your field, visiting press websites to assess the fit of their current lists, sending brief author query emails to gauge interest, and evaluating a press's output volume and consistency as indicators of its health and competitiveness. Christine also clarifies an important protocol — proposals can be sent to multiple presses simultaneously, but full manuscripts must go to only one — and encourages authors to support the university press ecosystem by purchasing books directly from press websites. The episode closes with a reminder about the 2026 Textbook and Academic Authors Institute (June 12–13), where Christine will be presenting sessions on scholarly and textbook authoring.

In Episode 271 of Defend, Publish, and Lead, host and executive writing coach Christine Tulley shares a practical productivity strategy she calls the "Next 30 Days" plan, designed to help academics avoid the common springtime trap of giving up or procrastinating as the semester winds down. Drawing from her own schedule — which includes two workshops, a final book manuscript due April 7th, and limited working days due to travel and holidays — she walks listeners through how to audit their upcoming 30 days by identifying hard deadlines, mapping out available work blocks, ruthlessly eliminating or postponing non-essential commitments, and delegating tasks like formatting and editing when possible. She also discusses a strategy she explored with a coaching client: giving students an out-of-class assignment to reclaim a critical day of focused work time. Throughout the episode, Christine emphasizes the guiding principle of "if it can wait, let it," encouraging faculty to narrow their focus, protect their limited bandwidth, and make intentional choices to finish the semester strong rather than stalling until summer.

In this remix of an earlier episode, Christine Tulley invites you to start thinking about writing as an event—something you actually look forward to rather than squeeze in between everything else. She shares how she treats her writing sessions like a "hot date," complete with a fancy coffee, a favorite playlist, and a trip to the library to get into the right mindset. Even when writing at home, she recreates that sense of occasion with small rituals—special drinks, lo-fi music, a quick walk, or a few minutes of freewriting—to signal that it's time to focus. The key is building anticipation and making writing feel intentional and even a little indulgent.

Christine also encourages you to refresh your writing space so it supports your energy and creativity. That might mean trying a standing desk, swapping out your chair, lighting a candle, getting dressed for the day, or using colorful tools like Trello to close out a session on a high note. Simple visual cues—like keeping your thesis on a Post-it nearby—can help you stay grounded when distractions creep in.

There's no single "right" routine; the goal is to experiment and find small, joyful touches that make sitting down to write feel satisfying and sustainable.

In Episode 266, Christine Tulley walks through the process of creating a "book completion battle plan" when facing a tight deadline, sharing her real-time approach to finishing a book manuscript due March 1st with only 23 days remaining. She demonstrates how to audit your available time by identifying writing days versus non-writing days, distinguishing between "big block days" (2+ hours), smaller writing blocks (45-90 minutes), and brief time fragments, explaining that she has 15 realistic writing days to complete 15,000-25,000 words at approximately 1,600 words per day. Tulley emphasizes thinking in terms of sections and subsections rather than just word counts, strategically allocating big blocks for generating new content and structural work while reserving smaller time pockets for cleanup tasks, and she shares practical decisions like printing the full manuscript for review, hiring a coach for formatting help, planning when to hand off work for editing, and protecting key writing days. She explains that noting that this kind of strategic time mapping helps writers facing deadlines make informed decisions about whether they need to add weekend days or pull all-nighters to meet their goals.

In Episode 265, Christine Tulley offers practical advice for overwhelmed academic writers on how to make progress when time is limited by focusing on completing just one paragraph. She explains that paragraphs can serve various purposes—proposing new frameworks, introducing evidence, synthesizing literature, or challenging established views—and that working on a single paragraph is a manageable, non-threatening way to advance your writing even in small fragments of time. Tulley emphasizes that paragraphs have singular goals and typically take less than a full page, making them ideal units for focused work during brief writing sessions, and she encourages writers to start with key structural paragraphs or troublesome ones that need revision, noting that these small efforts accumulate toward completing larger projects.

In Episode 264, Christine Tulley explores alternatives to traditional time blocking for academic writers who struggle with scheduling designated writing periods. While acknowledging that time blocking works for some people, she presents three alternative approaches: dedicating entire days to writing rather than small time slots, blocking time for specific tasks instead of general "writing hours," and using a flexible weekly range system where writers set a minimum and maximum number of hours to complete each week without assigning them to specific times. Tulley emphasizes that traditional time blocking often fails because it requires writing on demand, can be disrupted by busy weeks, and may not suit everyone's temperament. She encourages academics to experiment with different methods to find what best matches their personality and schedule while still maintaining accountability for their writing goals.

In this episode of Defend, Publish, and Lead, host Christine Tulley interviews Brenda Ulrich, a publishing attorney and board member of the Textbook and Academic Authors Association (TAA), about the organization and the upcoming 2026 TAA Summer Institute.

Brenda discusses TAA's unique value as a cross-disciplinary organization focused on supporting textbook and academic authors throughout their writing careers, not just the writing process itself, offering guidance on contracts, copyright, marketing, and other industry matters. She highlights her upcoming presentation on publishing contract negotiation, which will be an updated version covering both fundamental negotiation strategies and new considerations brought about by generative AI and changing industry practices, including how content is increasingly fragmented, bundled in subscription services, and distributed through platforms like inclusive access. The session is designed to benefit both new authors who need to understand contract basics and veteran authors facing new amendments, contract updates, or navigating an evolving publishing landscape where books from 1992 are being moved to much longer and more complex modern contracts.

In Episode 262, host Christine Tulley offers practical strategies for faculty to optimize their spring semester teaching while protecting their scholarly writing time. She presents five countdown tweaks:

1. Establishing and knowing your teaching, grading, and prep schedule
2. Implementing pattern teaching to save preparation time
3. Identifying grading-heavy weeks and adding extra writing time beforehand
4. Reducing student complaints by providing assignment models and maintaining a bank of common explanations
5. Selecting one specific teaching improvement goal for the semester (like better organizing course management systems)

Tulley emphasizes that these adjustments are designed to make teaching more efficient without sacrificing quality, particularly during the spring semester when faculty typically have less preparation time than in the fall.

In Episode 261, Christine Tulley, President and Executive Writing Coach at Defend, Publish & Lead, presents five key questions for academics to consider about their writing in 2026: whether to commit to or abandon zombie writing projects that have stalled, clearing out outdated writing debris like old files and emails, deciding how many hours per week to dedicate to writing given other obligations, developing strategies to actively promote published work beyond initial publication, and identifying one priority project to complete during the year. Throughout the episode, she draws on examples from her work as an executive writing coach and emphasizes making intentional, low-pressure decisions about writing habits and projects for the new year, while also promoting the Textbook and Academic Authors Association's upcoming institute and her own coaching services.

In Episode 260, Christine Tulley, President and Executive Writing Coach at Defend, Publish & Lead, emphasizes the importance of celebrating writing wins as the holiday season approaches, arguing that CVs often function more as stress-inducing evaluation documents than celebratory records of accomplishments.

She demonstrates her approach using Penzu (a free digital writing journal that she loves but is not a sponsor), walking through how she reviews her Fall 2025 Semester Writing Project Mix to assess what she actually completed—discovering she finished 3 out of 4 planned projects, including two chapters of her sabbatical book and presentation slides, while her "yucky writing project" remained incomplete. She highlights unexpected wins like her Inside Higher Ed article on who owns faculty writing (co-written with Jennifer Ahern-Dodson) that she had forgotten about from her Summer 2025 plans, reframes the 3 out of 4 completion rate as a success focused on movement and completion rather than perfection, and encourages listeners to celebrate broader wins beyond publications (such as consistently hitting 8 hours of writing per week) while using this reflection to inform planning for 2026.

She concludes by mentioning her coaching services and the resources available through podcast sponsor Textbook and Academic Authors Association.

In Episode 259, Christine Tulley, President and Executive Writing Coach of Defend Publish & Lead, addresses the common question of when to start writing after the holiday break, emphasizing the importance of making this decision ahead of time rather than letting it remain nebulous as the calendar year flips.

She shares her personal approach of designating January 5th as her first official day back to writing (separate from her first day of class), blocking out specific time slots in her calendar (9:00-11:30 AM on January 5th, 6th, and 7th for a total of seven and a half hours that week), and color-coding this time as brown to protect it from competing demands.

She recommends preparing for this first writing day by treating it like the first day of school—cleaning out your laptop bag, restocking essential supplies like hard drive connector cords and extra headphones, gathering any articles you'll need, and perhaps choosing a favorite coffee shop instead of the library. Christine emphasizes that setting up special elements for your first writing session can infuse it with new energy, mentions her holiday playlist of writing episodes, and concludes by offering a free Textbook and Academic Authors Association membership giveaway to the first person who emails her at christine@defendpublishlead.com along with her coaching practice's ongoing holiday pricing special.

Christine Tulley, President and Executive Writing Coach, explores the concept of maintaining an "origin story" for academic writing projects in the context of surveillance, power dynamics, and emerging technologies—the theme of the 2025 Big Rhetorical Podcast Carnival. She examines how various stakeholders (universities, publishers, plagiarism detection software, AI tools, and tenure committees) have claims to or surveillance over faculty writing, raising questions about ownership and originality. Tulley offers four practical strategies for documenting the development of writing projects: maintaining dated drafts, using version control systems like GitHub, creating process documentation through blogs or social media, and sharing work-in-progress through conference presentations and public scholarship venues. She emphasizes the importance of tools like ORCID IDs for tracking authorship and highlights the Textbook and Academic Authors Association's upcoming webinar about claiming damages in the lawsuit against Anthropic for unauthorized use of academic work by AI tools, framing documentation of writing origins as both a protective measure and a meaningful way to capture the creative process.

Christine Tulley, President and Executive Writing Coach, explores how to use Academic Writing Month (November) not to add more work, but to improve your writing habits and practices. She shares four strategic tweaks that can help academic writers become more satisfied with their work as the calendar year closes: finding one ideal writing day, creating a dream project list, taking stock of nine satisfaction areas, and taking advantage of free learning opportunities. Rather than pushing harder, these tweaks focus on reconnecting with what makes academic writing fulfilling.

Christine Tulley, President and Executive Writing Coach, discusses how academics can determine whether they have a viable publication idea by examining four key factors: first, whether you can execute the project with available resources including time, materials, and access to necessary data; second, whether the idea fits with a target journal or publication outlet and potentially a backup option; third, how the idea aligns with your scholarly positioning, expertise, and research agenda; and fourth, whether the idea has potential impact with an identifiable audience who would actually read and engage with the work. Tulley emphasizes that ideas should be tested through conversations with colleagues and conference presentations, and she provides practical examples from her own career transitions, noting that some ideas may be too small for full articles or too broad to execute effectively. She concludes by promoting her writing coaching services' holiday special for faculty who want help developing their publication ideas.

In Episode 248 Christine Tulley, President and Executive Writing Coach AT Defend, Publish & Lead, shares four practical strategies for managing grading responsibilities while protecting writing time: front-loading writing at the beginning of the semester before grading intensifies, leaving detailed notes after each writing session to facilitate re-entry after breaks, prioritizing writing before grading whenever possible to ensure it happens and to capitalize on fresh mental energy, and proactively blocking backup writing slots in future weeks to compensate for reduced productivity during heavy grading periods. She emphasizes that balance isn't always realistic—some weeks will be more grading-heavy while others allow for more writing—and encourages listeners to stay connected to their scholarly work even during demanding teaching periods, suggesting resources like the Tuesday Toolbox video series as a way to keep writing skills sharp when time is limited.

This episode describes the critical importance of building adequate margin into academic schedules. After a week that went "off the rails" due to unexpected emergencies including children's health issues, emergency dental work, and even a mouse invasion, Christine Tulley, President and Executive Writing Coach at Defend, Publish & Lead, discovered that while she thought she had built sufficient 30-minute buffers into her daily schedule, she hadn't accounted for how tightly stacked her days were against each other. When one day explodes due to emergencies, there's insufficient margin in subsequent days to absorb the ripple effects. The episode offers practical strategies for creating true margin in overpacked academic lives, including asking for help, moving non-urgent tasks, shortening meetings, saying no when possible, and building in extra travel time to prevent the stress and errors that come from rushing.

In this gentle re-entry strategy episode, DP&L President and Executive Writing Coach, Christine Tulley shares a low-pressure approach for returning to scholarly writing after extended breaks, particularly useful at the beginning of semesters when writers feel disconnected from their projects. Her “just look and notice” method involves reading through manuscripts without committing to write new content, simply observing structural issues, incomplete sections, or organizational problems, then using the comment function to leave targeted notes and generative questions that create manageable entry points for future writing sessions.

This episode provides practical strategies for systematic organization through visual systems (using color-coding in Canvas to distinguish primary sections from copies) and strategic time blocking for competing priorities (dedicating specific days to writing, grading, and administrative tasks). Christine Tulley, President and Executive Writing Coach of Defend, Publish & Lead, demonstrates creating sustainable rhythms during overload semesters by establishing non-negotiable time blocks: Mondays for writing (6-8 hours weekly), Tuesday/Thursday for grading and student responses, Wednesday mornings for additional writing time, Friday mornings for weekly planning and logistics, and Sunday afternoons for teaching preparation while watching football. The episode emphasizes that even during demanding teaching semesters, protecting writing time requires intentional scheduling and organizational systems that prevent multiple sections from derailing scholarly productivity.

This episode emphasizes establishing scholarly writing habits during the first week of classes before semester demands overwhelm available time and energy. Acknowledging the natural tendency to prioritize immediate teaching concerns over scholarly writing, Christine Tulley, President and Executive Writing Coach, provides a strategic framework for habit formation through early commitment (establishing writing routines by week three when semester patterns solidify) and contextual project matching (aligning writing projects with realistic time constraints and energy levels). She advocates for using early semester weeks to assess available writing time honestly and select achievable projects, sharing her example of completing conference proposals, book chapters, and presentations during a fragmented semester by matching project types to available time slots rather than abandoning writing altogether.

This episode addresses a challenging landscape of academic professional development funding in 2025, offering a priority-based framework for maximizing limited resources amid budget cuts and funding uncertainty. Christine’s systematic approach begins with the "number one priority test" (identifying resources you'd pay for personally), moves to immediate commitments like fall conference registrations and organizational memberships, then productivity tools and resources such as specialized software or methodology training, and concludes with strategic remainder spending on non-expiring resources like coaching hours or PDF guides, emphasizing the critical importance of spending allocated funds before potential budget clawbacks while prioritizing investments that directly advance scholarly productivity and writing progress.

In this practical summer organization episode, President and executive writing coach Christine Tulley introduces a systematic approach to managing academic conference logistics, planning, and participation. She shares her streamlined method for transforming the often chaotic world of conference attendance into a manageable, strategic process that saves time and reduces stress throughout the academic year.

Christine opens by acknowledging the common academic struggle with conference management chaos - missed deadlines for desired conferences, last-minute scrambling for hotel reservations, lost abstracts, and the tendency to attend conferences out of habit rather than strategic professional development. Her solution emerged from recognizing that summer provides the ideal window for systematic conference planning when academic schedules allow for thoughtful decision-making.

As someone who attends approximately four conferences annually, all requiring travel and significant logistical coordination, Christine developed this maintenance system to ensure she presents at conferences aligned with her current research interests while avoiding the stress of deadline-driven panic decisions. She emphasizes that this process typically requires only about an hour of focused work, making it accessible even for busy academics.

In this timely mid-summer episode, President and executive writing coach Christine Tulley addresses the universal academic experience of feeling behind on summer projects. Recording at the end of June, she provides practical strategies for reassessing summer goals, managing academic guilt, and making strategic decisions about competing priorities when time feels scarce.

Christine opens by acknowledging the extra layer of summer guilt that academics experience - the pressure to "catch up" during months supposedly dedicated to research and writing progress. She shares her personal summer project list using Penzu, an online notebook tool, demonstrating transparency about her own challenges with staying on track while managing multiple writing commitments.

Her summer, which officially began June 2nd when her children finished school, included successfully completing major deadlines including conference proposals and a book proposal for an upcoming sabbatical guide. However, unexpected project revisions and new professional obligations have shifted her timeline, creating the familiar feeling of being behind despite objective progress.

Christine introduces several strategic frameworks for summer project management. First, she advocates for conducting a "consequences audit" - honestly assessing what actually happens if certain projects remain incomplete. For tenured faculty, delayed personal writing projects may have minimal immediate impact, while those on the tenure track or job market face more significant career implications from lost productivity time.

She demonstrates the power of strategic elimination, considering whether to reduce her planned Inside Higher Education articles from two to one, allowing focus on her persistently delayed "yucky writing project" - that half-finished article that continually gets pushed to future semesters. This decision-making process illustrates how academics can move from overwhelming task lists to manageable priorities.

A key insight emerges around timing-sensitive projects. Christine emphasizes that book promotion work for her spring publications cannot be indefinitely delayed without losing marketing opportunities, while other projects offer more flexibility. This distinction helps writers identify which delays have real consequences versus those driven primarily by perfectionist tendencies.

The episode addresses holistic summer planning beyond writing projects. Christine shares her success with restorative activities - pleasure reading, guitar playing, outdoor time, and family workout classes - noting that maintaining these practices often indicates healthy work-life integration even when writing productivity feels insufficient. She acknowledges one unmet goal: visiting the art museum, demonstrating realistic self-assessment without harsh self-judgment.

Christine introduces the concept of decision deadlines, giving herself until July 1st to finalize her revised summer plan. This approach prevents endless rumination while ensuring thoughtful priority-setting for remaining summer weeks.

She challenges listeners to recognize areas where they might actually be ahead of schedule, encouraging academics to claim credit for deep work that took longer than anticipated but produced higher-quality results. This reframing counters the academic tendency toward perpetual dissatisfaction with productivity levels.

The episode concludes with practical encouragement: counting remaining summer weeks reveals substantial time for meaningful progress. Christine calculated six weeks remaining until her semester begins, reframing "behind" feelings into opportunities for strategic focus and realistic goal adjustment.

In this focused writing craft episode, President and executive writing coach Christine Tulley explores the fundamental structure that drives successful scholarly communication. Christine reveals how understanding paragraph architecture can transform academic writing from scattered thoughts into compelling, publishable scholarship that resonates with readers and reviewers alike.

Christine introduces the concept that scholarly paragraphs function as miniature essays, each containing their own complete argument arc within the larger framework of academic discourse. This understanding shifts how writers approach paragraph construction, moving beyond simple topic sentences to crafting sophisticated micro-arguments that build toward larger scholarly conclusions.

Drawing on insights from Eric Hayot's The Elements of Academic Style, Christine discusses what Hayot terms "The Uneven U" structure - a reliable framework where effective academic writing begins with broad contextual statements, narrows to present specific evidence and analysis, then expands again to draw wider implications and connections. This pattern creates the rhythmic flow that characterizes polished academic prose.

• The episode demonstrates a practical revision technique for assessing paragraph effectiveness: extracting the final sentence from each paragraph or concluding paragraph from each section to evaluate whether the writing demonstrates progressive intellectual development. Christine explains how this diagnostic reveals whether arguments are genuinely building momentum or simply repeating the same level of analysis without advancement.

She emphasizes that strong academic paragraphs don't merely present information but actively engage in scholarly conversation, with each paragraph contributing a distinct piece to the overall intellectual puzzle. The concluding sentences of well-crafted paragraphs should collectively reveal an upward trajectory of thinking, moving from specific observations toward broader theoretical insights.

Christine connects this paragraph-level attention to the larger project of scholarly publication success, noting how editors and reviewers can quickly assess manuscript quality by examining paragraph structure and flow. Writers who master these foundational elements significantly improve their chances of acceptance and positive reception within their academic communities.

The discussion highlights common challenges academics face when translating complex research into clear, compelling prose, particularly the tendency to front-load paragraphs with evidence while neglecting the crucial interpretive work that transforms data into meaningful scholarly contribution.

In this essential professional development episode, President and executive writing coach Christine Tulley demonstrates the importance of conducting an annual Google search audit of your academic presence. She provides practical guidance for academics on monitoring and managing their online research profile, particularly during summer months when professional development tasks typically receive more attention.

Christine begins by sharing her personal practice of Googling herself annually, acknowledging that while she doesn't always maintain perfect consistency, this summer task has become integral to her professional maintenance routine. She explains how summer naturally lends itself to career-focused activities like CV updates, professional organization memberships, and overall research profile assessment.

During her live demonstration of searching her own name, Christine reveals several key insights about academic online presence. She expresses satisfaction that her search results display primarily research-oriented content, including conference presentations with proper institutional affiliations and research interests. Notably, she celebrates that Google's algorithm has finally updated to reflect her current research areas rather than outdated interests from 15 years ago - a common problem academics face with persistent, obsolete online information.

Her search results showcase a well-rounded academic digital footprint including her institution, LinkedIn profile, Defend Publish & Lead company page, personal WordPress site, sabbatical work at Ohio State, book publications, ResearchGate, Humanities Commons, X (formerly Twitter) posts, and Google Scholar profile. She notes that posts from Inside Higher Education also appear in her results, demonstrating the value of external publication visibility.

However, Christine identifies a significant gap in her current online presence: two new books published in April - an edited collection on faculty writing research and a Routledge publication on time management for academic mothers (Rec Comp Moms) - are notably absent from her first-page search results. This discovery illustrates the episode's central point about the need for proactive promotion of recent scholarship.

Christine explains the strategic importance of maintaining current search visibility, noting that while people may discover new work through social media posts, many researchers conduct Google searches when they encounter someone's work for the first time. If recent publications don't appear on the first page, potential readers and collaborators may miss significant contributions to the field.

She discusses the nuanced relationship between Google's algorithm and academic self-promotion, explaining that consistent activity around specific projects eventually leads to first-page visibility. While a 2018 book continues to appear prominently in her results, she emphasizes the need to actively promote newer work through various channels including Substack blogs, LinkedIn posts, and other content that refreshes regularly.

Christine positions this digital audit as complementary to traditional CV work, particularly valuable for academics preparing for job market activities or tenure and promotion applications in the fall. She stresses that a well-organized Google presence can significantly impact professional opportunities when search committees or colleagues investigate an academic's background.

The episode concludes with information about Defend Publish & Lead's upcoming faculty development seminarsavailable through Eventbrite, covering topics from faculty writing groups to supporting chairs and deans as writers, paragraph writing for dissertation students, and book writing strategies.

In this summer-themed episode, President and executive writing coach Christine Tulley addresses the common challenge academics face during summer months: distinguishing between work time and personal time while managing writing projects effectively. She provides practical strategies for creating sustainable boundaries around scholarly work during the less structured summer period.

Christine begins by acknowledging a widespread issue among her clients - the tendency to view summer as an unlimited reservoir of time to "catch up" on writing projects that may have stalled during the academic year. However, she warns against this all-or-nothing approach, noting that summer brings its own challenges including schedule changes, family vacations, travel commitments, and the natural desire to enjoy pleasant weather rather than remaining confined to an office.

The episode focuses on two key time management strategies that can transform how academics approach summer productivity. The first strategy involves establishing a realistic weekly hour commitment for scholarly work before each week begins. Christine emphasizes that attempting 40 hours per week of reading and writing is unrealistic due to the mentally taxing nature of screen-based, high-stress academic work, particularly for those working on dissertations or tenure-track requirements.

Drawing from her personal experience, Christine shares her approach of targeting 8-12 hours per week during the regular academic year, with 8 hours as her minimum threshold and 12 hours as her maximum before she allows herself to stop. She explains the psychological benefits of using a range rather than a fixed number, as it provides flexibility while ensuring minimum productivity standards are met. For summer intensification, she suggests scaling up to ranges like 16-20 hours per week for those with reduced teaching loads.

The range system offers several advantages, including the ability to track progress throughout the week and make informed decisions about additional work sessions. Christine illustrates this with an example of checking progress on Thursday and determining whether additional hours are needed by week's end to meet the minimum threshold.

The second major strategy involves deliberately scheduling non-work days during the summer. Christine recommends intentionally designating certain days as completely writing-free, whether for vacation, service obligations, or simply personal choice. This planned approach to rest prevents the guilt and uncertainty that often accompanies unstructured time off.

Christine concludes by emphasizing that this systematic approach to work-life boundaries helps answer the persistent question of "how much writing is enough?" She acknowledges that while there's theoretically no limit to academic productivity, realistic physical and mental constraints require thoughtful planning and self-imposed limits.

In this episode, President and executive writing coach Christine Tulley provides essential strategies for effectively wrapping up the spring semester and preparing for a smooth transition into summer. Christine focuses on specific end-of-academic-year tasks that differ from typical semester closures, offering practical advice for academics looking to tie up loose ends before the fiscal year ends.

Christine emphasizes the critical importance of addressing deadline-driven tasks first - from spending remaining faculty development funds to completing annual productivity reports and tenure-track requirements. She stresses that these tasks often involve funding or have significant consequences if missed, making them the top priority for spring semester closure.

The episode covers essential organizational strategies including managing digital files from spring classes, deciding what materials to keep versus delete, and developing effective naming conventions for future use. Christine shares her approach to handling physical materials like books and printed articles, recommending binder clips with descriptive notes over traditional filing systems that can bury important documents.

For educators, she discusses the nuances of course management between semesters, explaining why copying fall-to-fall courses often works better than adapting spring materials due to calendar differences and energy variations between semesters. She also suggests creating a dedicated folder for fall prep ideas without actively working on them until August.

Christine concludes with the importance of annual CV updates, timing this task to coincide with required annual reports. This systematic approach ensures nothing gets overlooked while maintaining professional documentation current.
