Supercharged support for academic authors and researchers
Writing and publishing is vital to scholarly success and institutional reputation.
Our coaching and workshop packages give academics, early career researchers and PhDs the skills, resilience and persistence they need to combat their blocks and barriers to writing.
More writing, more publishing, more impact – for individuals and institutions
Blending online training, group support and digital coaching, we create a supportive learning environment for academic authors to build their confidence and skills.
- Publish more, meet REF targets
- Grow institutional impact
- Improve research impact
- Increase funding opportunities and ranking
Our coaching packages help academic authors at all levels – from PhD to professor.
NARTI invited Prolifiko to run a workshop focusing on specific needs that participants provided in advance. This included challenges such as the barriers, blocks and pressures that writing often brings. The team addressed all of these and more and provided practical solutions. NARTI looks forward to continuing to work with Prolifiko. We believe that researchers in our network will benefit greatly from this collaboration.

What workshop participants say…
The workshop was very interactive and thought-provoking and provided me with many take-aways which I will integrate into my writing practice.
Really impressed with the day and learned a lot about the doctoral journey.
This was a great informative and well delivered session. It was an excellent space to generate ideas and to reflect on the process and craft of academic writing.
A great workshop for academics (and for other writers) who want to improve their writing habits and enjoy writing more. Lots of ideas to take away and try out.
Excellent workshop. Genuinely useful and the most helpful advice I’ve ever received on writing productivity by far – thank you for this session!
Exceeded expectations! Totally lived up to the blurb and the facilitators were complimentary and enjoyable.
A really useful focused workshop that helped me reconnect with the positives of academic writing and small practice ways to build greater productivity as a writer.
Prolifiko’s Productive Academic Writer workshop really lived up to its name! I only wish I had the chance to attend earlier on in my PhD.

Prolifiko facilitated a highly participatory writing productivity and overcoming procrastination workshop for the ISBE network. The participants found it to be very beneficial and inspirational. They encouraged us to think about our daily challenges and to engage with writing with a positive and energetic attitude. We enjoyed working with them and we will happily invite them to do similar work on future occasions.
Grounded in real world academic experience
Our coaching programs and workshops are informed by our own original research into academic writing productivity – first launched at The London Book Fair, 2019.
Co-designed by academics at The University of Findlay, the research examines the productivity habits and routines of 600 academic authors from 43 countries.
One of the most comprehensive studies of its kind, the research has been featured in The Guardian, Research Information, LSE Impact Blog and Scholarly Kitchen. Download the research here.
Prolifiko ran an engaging and professional workshop that gave us lots of ideas on how to further support the research and writing of our early career researchers and PhD community. We’d happily welcome them back.
