Academic Book Writing Simplified with Jane Joann Jones
Episode #2: You don’t need permission to prioritize your book
16 Aug 2024
In this episode, Jane tackles the common issue of permission-seeking in academic writing, especially among scholars socialized as women. Many academics find themselves constantly deferring their book-writing time to meet the needs of others, ultimately putting their own projects on the back burner. Jane explores the reasons behind this behavior and provides practical steps to help you reclaim your time and prioritize your book-writing process. By setting boundaries, deciding in advance when to write, and learning to say "no," you can take control of your schedule and ensure that your book gets the attention it deserves.✉️ Want even MORE bookish advice, right in your inbox?
