Acceptable to Amazing
Academic Writing Masterclass for Graduate Students

Graduate Students Can’t Write

Students just can’t write these days.” It’s a refrain you hear over and over from professors, even in graduate school. But, how often do these professors sit down and take the time to teach academic writing to their graduate students?!

Great academic writing is more than just spelling, grammar, and word choice. However, most students only get basic English classes as undergraduates. If no one takes the time to teach you what makes great writing great then how are you supposed to be an amazing academic writer?

Feeling familiar? Then this masterclass is for you! It’s designed specifically to teach graduate students how to improve their academic writing skills.

Why Most Academic Writing Sucks

After nearly a decade of coaching graduate students, I’ve learned that mediocre writing is a terrible cycle. Most academic writing, even published, is mediocre. Most professors give students feedback on what to do in a specific instance but not why. In lieu of understanding the reasons for the feedback, students resort to emulating published writing. These students graduate to become professors with mediocre writing skills who cannot explain to their students what makes good writing good.

Let’s Break the Cycle

No one sets out to be a mediocre writer, and I’m so happy you want to break the cycle! That’s why I developed ‘Acceptable to Amazing,’ to teach you how to recognize good writing, understand why it’s good, and bring that to your own work.
