Publishing is shaped by a combination of identifiable factors. Evidence-based coaching helps you understand and strengthen them..

Are you a researcher, writer or journalist wondering why publishing sometimes feels harder than it should? Most of us ask ourselves that question at some point. Large-scale studies show that publication rates vary enormously: many people publish relatively little, while a smaller group consistently publishes much more. Yet this difference does not necessarily reflect talent, intelligence or the quality of the work itself. Sometimes, taking a step back is the first step forward.

But these studies reveal something even more encouraging. They suggest that publishing is influenced not by a single ability, but by a combination of personal and contextual factors. Motivation, confidence, work habits, priorities and the surrounding environment all play a part—and together they can have a remarkable impact on your productivity.

‘Writing is thinking. To write well is to think clearly. That’s why it’s so hard’.

David McCullough

This is where my coaching approach comes in. Together, we explore the factors that shape your own publication process: identifying what slows you down, strengthening what already works, and building a more sustainable way of writing and publishing. The goal goes beyond improving writing techniques—it is about understanding how you engage with the entire process.

If this resonates with you, I would be happy to discuss it during an introductory conversation, free of charge and without obligation. It’s an opportunity to explain my approach in more detail, learn about your situation, and see whether we are a good fit to work together.
