Have you ever lost days, weeks or even months to the Research Rabbit Hole of Doom?

You tell yourself:

  • This research isn’t good enough — I need better sources.
  • I’m not qualified enough to write about this.
  • This has all been said before — what’s the point?
  • I have way too much material — I’ll never organize all this.
  • I’m so behind, I’ll never catch up.

You already know this negative chatter isn’t helping, but you can’t seem to stop it. Sound familiar?

Let me teach you how to halt it once and for all. I have a bullet-proof system designed for authors, academics and freelance writers. It will teach you what to look for, where to save it and how to know you’re done.

(Yes, research can actually END.)

Many people use research as procrastination (“I’ll start writing as soon as I read 25 more papers… and reorganize my desk… and learn ancient Greek”). Don’t doom yourself to spending way more time on your work than necessary.

Instead, join my practical one-hour class on Thursday, Dec. 11 at an early-bird price of just $25. I’ll teach you the exact techniques you need to become a confident researcher. 

My methods have helped grad students finish their dissertations, authors complete their books, professors submit papers to peer-reviewed journals and marketing writers deliver their reports before retirement age.

I’ve been a professional editor and writer for more than 40 years, and I’m an expert at helping writers finally finish their work instead of endlessly researching it.

Researching doesn’t need to be frightening, overwhelming or endless. It’s a process with a clear beginning, middle and end. Learn how to do it in a way that will make you a better, more successful writer.

This $25 class will teach you five easy ways to become a better researcher by showing you how to:

1

Master the art of note-taking.

2

Determine where to store your research so you can find it again.

3

Absorb the benefits of declaring your working angle early.

4

Soak up the rewards of a research diary.

5

Outwit the voice of fear that's holding you down.

My practical one-hour class, The Research Power Hour, will show you how to save hours of frustration and build a research system that actually works

This course is a live webinar at 1 pm Pacific on Thursday, Dec. 11. (Can’t attend live? Everyone receives a recording.)

Here are some of the breakthrough strategies you’ll learn:

  • The world’s four best note-taking systems — and three powerful tweaks to make each one better.
  • The single smartest place to store your research (so you’ll actually find it when you need it).
  • Why faking a “working angle” early saves you from months of aimless reading.
  • The 13-year-old girl’s secret that can save your research (this one tip alone is worth the price of admission).
  • Three sneaky ways to outsmart the “I’m not qualified” voice in your head.
  • The exact moment you can close your tabs and start writing (yes, there IS an endpoint!).

What clients say about my classes

The power of the first draft

 

Because of the class, I wrote a first draft of an article I’d been putting off (for my company newsletter). Everything you said about getting the first draft done I found to be true.

Informative and accessible

I have been following Daphne for a long time now, and subscribe to her weekly email newsletter. I regularly use her mind map technique when I’m stuck, and have found her advice over the years practical and helpful. I admire tight and succinct writing, and so am a huge admirer! Her recent class on AI was a very interesting, informative and accessible class, with helpful and practical suggestions for how to get the best out of AI.

Clear and practical

Daphne demonstrated how AI could be used to improve our writing. Just as importantly, she warned us about when not to use AI. I loved the clarity of her explanations and the practical examples. I am recommending Daphne’s blog and classes to both my writing groups.

Suggestions to improve my writing 

Thanks for this useful presentation. I’ve been using ChatGPT a lot for mundane things — social media posts about events at the museum I’m associated with, job descriptions, “suggest how to freshen up this grant application.”  I’ve used it as a tutor and I’m interested to see what suggestions it makes to improve my writing.
