This is an online coaching course for individuals interested in becoming an author who writes for impact! I help scholar-practitioners and scholar-activists with real jobs and real-life experiences develop and execute a high impact writing project for presentation or publication, so they can stand out in their niche, grow their platform, reach their career goals in colleges and universities, and build an intellectual legacy committed to personal transformation or social justice. This course is of particular interest to Black authors and other authors of color who may not have been invited to the table to discuss the nuances (and politics) of the publishing and writing process. The intent is to foster a sense of community that extends beyond the writing process! I am giving out trade secrets and liberation strategies!
Your Instructor
Write Like A Scholar is an online group writing program facilitated by your personal writing (African) muse, your's truly, Dr. V! As your African muse, I teach you the habits of mind and routines of research scholars like myself who strive to impact society using self-awareness and cultural knowledge. What's my secret you ask? Let's just say that I bridge the worlds of education and psychology and sprinkle that with a little bit of cultural insight. Read more about my background here: https://www.venusevanswinters.com/.
My personal mission is to motivate and show activist scholars, scholar practitioners, and everyday people committed to racial justice and human freedom how to write for impact! What do I mean by write for impact? We unapologetically write to heal ourselves, help heal other people, and to transform society.
I am interested in working with individuals who are interested in using the medium of writing to gain a larger platform--Read: radio shows, television and visual media, policy, advocacy, keynotes, workshops, academic work, journal articles, and book publications.
I share with you my formula for writing like a scholar for presentation or publication without compromising your VALUES AND BELIEFS. I hope you are ready to learn how to write like a scholar to transform yourself and your writing! Commit to the process to achieve impact!
Thank you for trusting me to be your African muse. ~Empress Dr. V!
