THE PROGRAMME

The Incubator program has three possible stages: an immersive on-the-ground workshop; a scaffolded online program; and dedicated individual editorial support.

An institution may choose one, two, or all three stages.

“It was a great experience to be part of the workshop! Mind maps were a major takeaway for me: they significantly improved my critical thinking and helped me produce superior-quality, organized writing.”

How It Works

Throughout all stages, every session is hands-on, with time dedicated to applying new strategies to each participant’s own work. The entire programme is practical and outcome-oriented: by the end of Stage 1 participants will have produced the content for an article; by the end of Stage 2 they will have a complete draft; and by the end of Stage 3, they will have a submission-ready manuscript.

Stage 1: Immersive In-Person Workshop

  • We begin with an immersive, hands-on, on-the-ground workshop. This workshop serves to provide key frameworks for scholarly writing, generate the material for an academic article, and build a supportive and dynamic community.

  • This stage culminates in a mock conference, where participants present their work, receive targeted feedback, and leave with concrete and actionable writing plans.


Stage 2: Online Incubation

Following the workshop, participants may apply to enter a two-month structured and scaffolded online program in which they develop their ideas into complete and engaging manuscripts. In this stage:

  • Work continues collaboratively, with peer support and expert guidance

  • Developmental editing demystifies each step from first draft to submission, and helps to pinpoint and lay bare the core ideas

  • Participants progress from content to a fully-fleshed out draft article

Stage 3: Dedicated Individual Editorial Support

Following the online sessions, we can continue to work closely with selected participants to finalize their manuscripts for publication.
