Book Writing, Together.

Let's Demystify Academic Book Writing, Together.

You way is the right way.

At Right Prose, we teach minoritized women how to embrace their writing as a way to challenge the racist and misogynistic status quo. There is no single right way to be an academic, and Right Prose is leading the conversation away from the boxes we’re taught to fit in and straight into honoring all voices. The rigid norms of academia weren’t made for you. It’s time to do things your way.

I've worked with clients that have published at university presses that include...

University of California Press
Stanford University Press
Oxford University Press
Princeton University Press
NYU Press
Duke University Press

You want to write a book.
You need to write a book.

You want to write a book.

But in all your years in The Ivory, you’ve never managed a project this big before. 

It’s Normal for Writing Your Book

To Feel Completely Overwhelming.

It’s Normal for Writing Your Book To Feel Completely Overwhelming.

The scale. The timeline.

The sheer number of tasks that go into it.

If you’re trying to write your manuscript all on your own, it’s all-too-easy to find yourself: 

What If I Told You...

There’s a less painful way to write your academic book?

One that doesn’t involve fear, shame, guilt, or feedback that feels like 1000 papercuts… 

An approach that will not only help you get better at writing, it’ll make you feel better about your writing too. 

What if there was a way you could write your academic book… and actually thrive in the process?

Hi, I’m Jane Jones, PhD. 

I help women academic authors transform their relationship with writing. 

I get that you don’t ask for help very often, so I hope you’ll allow me to say how happy I am that you’re here.

We know you can write a book... do you?

We are committed to showing up for women and non-binary scholars in academia. At Right Prose, we won’t stop until you’re ready to claim your voice, ideas, and written words. After all, you have a book to write.

  • Consistent, constructive feedback on their work…
  • Nurturing, supportive community of their peers…
  • Guidance they need to get their writing projects done, on schedule…

...without sacrificing the rest of themselves.

Curious Why I Left?

As a developmental editor and academic book coach, I’m dedicated to providing women writers with the kind of support I wish I’d had back when I was on the tenure track. 

So What Does a “Different Way of Writing” Look Like? 

Academic authors work with me to:
