Defend, Publish & Lead Podcast

Dr. Christine Tulley’s episodes are always so insightful and the perfect length for a quick listening session. I always tune in and learn something new.

I’ve been listening to the Defend, Publish and Lead podcast for years, and it’s been invaluable for improving my academic writing practice. The advice is highly actionable, and the short episodes are easy to fit into a commute (or during a run, which is most often for me). Any tenure-track and tenured professor will find the podcast quite valuable. I highly recommend it.

This was a great session with Heather! The epodcast walks the listener through the process of preparing the proposal. Specifically, Heather provides insight into what is appropriate to ask an editor before submitting the proposal. This workshop/episode is particularly valuable to academic authors because it demystifies preparation of a book proposal but also humanizes the process. Lastly, but most importantly, it was valuable because Heather has experience with a variety of publishers, having published a few titles herself! She shares valuable insight from her own experiences for listeners to consider when preparing a book proposal.

These podcasts are super valuable for helping writers — whether graduate students, post-docs, or faculty — become better at what they do. I have been listening to these while working one-on-one with a Defend and Publish writing coach. These podcasts are a great way to supplement the coaching and build on the skills learned. I appreciate how effective Christine is at communicating ideas and advice to listeners in a short time frame. Super helpful for all us busy writers!
