Download the Building Your Publishing Pipeline Course Guide
A free guide for faculty who want a clearer, more structured system for managing writing projects, staying organized across multiple stages, and making steady progress toward publication.
Why This Course Exists
Most faculty are working on more than one writing project at a time. A paper under review, a chapter in progress, a grant proposal on the back burner. The challenge is rarely a lack of ideas or effort. It is the absence of a clear system for knowing what to prioritize, where things are stalling, and what needs attention next.
Building Your Publishing Pipeline was designed to solve that problem with a practical, structured approach to managing research writing across an entire career, not just a single deadline.
What is Building Your Publishing Pipeline?
Building Your Publishing Pipeline is a four-week virtual course that helps faculty organize, prioritize, and advance their writing projects with greater clarity and consistency. Rather than focusing on individual writing sessions, the course introduces a pipeline approach that allows you to track and manage multiple projects at once, see where each one stands in the publication process, and make more intentional decisions about where to focus your time.
Participants leave with a defined pipeline of current projects and a concrete plan for keeping their research moving forward.
By the end of the course, you will have:
- A clear view of all your writing projects and where each stands in the publication process
- A system for identifying where work is stalling and what needs to move next
- A more intentional approach to prioritizing projects based on your goals and available time
- A realistic plan for advancing priority work toward submission
- A structure that supports sustained research momentum across semesters, not just short bursts
Who is this for?
This course is designed for faculty managing multiple writing projects at different stages of development, and for those who want a more structured, long-term approach to research productivity. It is particularly relevant for faculty struggling to maintain research momentum alongside heavy teaching or service responsibilities, faculty preparing for tenure, promotion, or post-tenure review, and faculty who have stalled projects they want to move forward without starting over.
Administrators looking for professional development options that directly support faculty research productivity and publication output will also find this guide a useful overview.
