Using Wendy Belcher’s Writing Your Journal Article in 12 Weeks, participants meet weekly for one hour to complete the steps and get an article, book chapter, grant proposal or other writing project completed in the time frame of the semester. The program works because the writing process is broken down into small manageable steps that work well with a busy teaching schedule and the majority of participants have submitted something for publication as a result of participation.
