Writing Process Reengineering I In-Person
This is part I of a writing course for PhD students at CBS. It focuses on the organization of research papers and doctoral dissertations. Part II focuses on time management and workflow. While I recommend attending both, they are designed also to stand alone. Sign up part Part II here.
Writing is an essential part of a life in research. Over the years, I have helped countless scholars become more productive and more effective writers, while fostering continuous improvement. From day to day, and week to week, you want to work in a way that both clarifies your thinking and improves your style. My seminars provide an introduction to a way of doing this and an overview of the ways I might be of help to you while you’re writing your dissertation and journal articles.
My approach focuses on the composition of individual paragraphs during what I call "writing moments". A healthy writing process is simply a series of such moments, each of which reliably produces a unit of scholarly prose. Organizing your writing process over a number of weeks, and managing it from day to day, is now, like so many other things, just a matter of planning and execution. I have found that, while most scholars understand this in the case of other work tasks (including their research and teaching activities), it sometimes takes a shift of perspective to think in practical terms about their writing.
