How To Get Tenure Website Launches An Academic Writing Club For Professors

July 18, 2015 – – Sacramento, CA business Academic Muse has launched a writing club geared specifically towards professors. Academic Muse, as can be seen on http://www.academicmuse.org, helps academics write better by offering useful hints and tips and other pieces of advice. Their new writing club is now open to new members.

“As professors we have to stick together and stand up for ourselves,” says Alan Klima from Academic Muse. “If we put our heads together and lift each other up, we’ll be stronger than standing alone against the system.”

The academic writing club addresses a number of issues that academic writers often struggle with. At the heart of it lies keeping up writing momentum with all the distractions professors and graduate students face. After all, so much is on the line for professors, which is why the writing club also addresses a number of other things, including procrastination. It is all too easy to procrastinate as a result of the various distractions surrounding any academic writer. While this is often a fact of life, the reality is also that procrastination costs valuable time and this can lead to terrible results.

“In the worst case scenario, someone could be denied tenure simply because their publications are not yet out,” adds Alan Klima. “Professors have the ability to write and get tenure, but the various distractions they have to cope with often mean that they are trying to get it out there in the last year or two. That might mean it will take another year or two to see print, which in turn means that the worst case scenario is certainly a possibility.”

Another big issue is that some professors simply write too slowly. At times, this is caused by the distractions surrounding them, but some are using the wrong process. Moreover, many academics are perfectionists, and trying to achieve perfection is incredibly time consuming and time is often in short supply. Perfectionism is something the writing club addresses directly.

The new academic writing club, which people can join through http://www.academicmuse.org/bootcamp/, aims to address all these issues and more. It is an opportunity to learn and to network with others, and ultimately, it teaches academics how to get tenure.
