The Statistics
It's true: becoming a proficient scholarly writer is challenging for many master's and doctoral students and early career faculty. In fact, approximately 50% of doctoral students who start a doctoral program (PhD, EdD, DBA, DNP, etc.) don’t finish and remain ABD (All But Dissertation). The Chronicle of Higher Education, the Council of Graduate Schools and the National Science Foundation publish detailed reports on the low percentage of people who complete their doctorate each year.
Underdeveloped writing, speaking and critical thinking abilities should never be the reason a graduate student doesn’t finish their program or a faculty member doesn't earn tenure. Research-based writing is an academic skill, so those willing to work and seek the help needed can receive the proper instruction, techniques and guidance to grow as research-based writers, scholars and experts.
At Cultivate the Writer (CTW), we are dedicated to removing barriers to your academic success. We have a comprehensive program of campus-based workshops, editing services, writing coaching and dissertation coaching to support you in writing about research effectively and getting published. We welcome the opportunity to partner with you or your university/organization to cultivate the writer, scholar and leader within!
