Over the past 20 years, I’ve used the 12 Week Year as both a professor and an entrepreneur to help me write millions of words on a wide range of topics.

But when I was a new assistant professor, I was staring at a blank white board wondering how I would ever manage to publish enough over the next six years to get tenure.

The truth is that as a young person, I was one of the least efficient and least organized people you’d ever met. It took me a long time to finish my dissertation and before I got my first academic job I had never been a consistent writer or publisher of high-quality work.

Thankfully it was then I discovered the 12 Week Year. Embracing the system transformed my ability to plan and execute my writing. It was so successful that I managed to get tenure while helping raise three kids and juggling a start up business on the side.

“One of the best investments I ever made was The 12 Week Year for Writers. I went from struggling to get any writing done to a productive writing schedule even with my two jobs. I was able to finish a rewrite of a novel as well as having a 90-day prayer guide published in the same year.”
