Academic Writing Amplified
261: [Should I Quit Academia Series] Why Changing Universities Isn't The Answer To Your Publishing Problems (Re-Release EP 163)
18 Mar 2025
Are you struggling with publications and wondering if changing universities will solve your writing problems? Think again! In this episode, I dive into the truth behind the misconception that a new university position will magically unclog your publication pipeline. I've worked with professors from various institutions who have held every type of position. I've seen first-hand that the real key to unlocking your writing success is not in your external circumstances but in how you approach your writing practice and time management. Lessening your teaching load or switching to a more research-focused position isn't going to help you publish more. If you don't address your writing practice, your issues will follow you no matter what job you take. If you're tired of struggling with a clogged pipeline and are ready to regain control of your academic writing, this episode is for you. Learn how building a sustainable writing practice and focusing on professional development will make it easier to get your voice out into the world so you can influence your field.
