Who are we?

The Researchers’ Writing Academy is an online program for researchers in the health, physical, life, social and earth sciences helping them to get published in high-ranking journals without lacking structure in the writing process. We are a small and growing company founded by Anna Clemens, PhD, who is an Academic Writing Coach with a background in Chemistry.

We are passionate about our mission to make academia a more diverse and joyful place by helping researchers succeed in their academic careers, no matter their background!

As a team, we strive to continually develop personally and professionally and value self-relection, initiative and direct communication. While we have ambitious goals, we are not afraid to make mistakes (they are an opportunity to grow!). We work in a solution- and data-oriented way instead of being drama-driven.
