Supercharged support for academic writers and authors
Boost the writing productivity of your researchers, PhDs and academics with our coaching plans and group sessions.

More writing, more publishing, more impact – for individuals and institutions
Writing and publishing are 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.
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.
Delivering a unique blend of traditional, online and digital support

Prolifiko’s program covered incredibly interesting research into writing habits that they’ve carried out. They have a clear grasp of the challenges academics face when it comes to trying to find time to write. Highly recommended!
Practical support, grounded in research
Our coaching programmes are rooted in theory but take a practical approach. Participants will learn tactics they can immediately apply to their writing.
- Insight into personal writing ‘tendencies’
- Techniques to find time and prioritise writing
- Tactics to deal with procrastination and blocking

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 with academics and publishing partners, 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.
