Strategic Advice

Funding and Publishing Strategies

Get strategic advice on your manuscripts and grants from our former journal editors and grants specialists who use their insider knowledge of the publishing and funding processes. We can advise you on how best to write your paper or grant, maximize its strengths and minimize its weaknesses, engage the editor, reviewers and grants panel, choose the right journal or funder, appeal a decision, craft a response to reviewers, and deal with competitive situations.

We can communicate via Zoom or email. 

We can provide one-on-one coaching to you and your trainees to share our in-depth knowledge about writing, reviewing, publishing, and communicating science. We work with your group to help you achieve goals like submitting manuscripts and grants, and giving talks.

We can help you better pitch your science to evaluation committees and reviewers by giving you feedback on your upcoming talks to improve clarity and impact, and prepare you for answering tough questions. We can help with presentations for conferences, grant interviews (i.e. HHMI, Pioneer Awards), job talks etc.

Academic Rates for these services are 139 USD/hour (250 USD/hour biotech). Please see our price list.
