Are you an academic struggling with writing or feeling isolated in your scholarly journey?

In this episode I welcome my friend and writing coach, Dr. Michelle Boyd, to talk about the magic of writing retreats. These retreats provide not only time and space but also a supportive community and practical skills that can transform your writing experience. Michelle is the founder and director of Inkwell Academic Writing Retreats, a transformative program designed to help scholars overcome their writing fears. 

Michelle also shares about going from an award-winning tenured professor to a writing coach who helps academics unlock their natural writing processes.
