In past Directed Drafts, some participants didn't use on-the-spot consults until late in the program. Across the board, they said, why didn't I do this sooner? It's what sets DD apart from other writing groups: if you're stuck during a writing session, hop into a consult and get moving again.

Directed Draft includes four weekly group writing sessions (M-Th), two of which are guided by me or @micharahder.bsky.social. That means participants get access to on-the-spot feedback from an experienced developmental editor twice per week for the full eight weeks!

Combined with one-on-one coaching meetings that help you identify concrete strategies to tackle whatever challenges you most about writing, Directed Draft is designed to help you set—and meet—ambitious but achievable writing goals. Our next session starts in January, 2026. Register today!

Micha Rahder @micharahder.bsky.social · 10/12/2025

When you encounter issues like this during a group writing session, we will meet you in a breakout room to quickly troubleshoot whatever is getting in your way, aiming to have you back to writing—with new momentum—in just a few minutes.

Getting sucked into a lit review rabbit hole, but not sure how to dig your way out? We can help! Feeling uncertain about the best way to frame your critique of other scholarship? We can help! Rewriting your intro over and over instead of digging into the body of your article? We can help!

@karendewartmcewen.bsky.social and I are developmental editors and writing coaches who specialize in tailored support for scholars at all stages of their careers. In our group sessions, we don't just tell you when to start and stop writing—we are available for on-the-spot writing support.

Reminder: If you're in/around anthropology and want a warm, global Discord server for cowriting and coworking, please reach out! Started by the incredible Dada Docot a few years ago, it's a great space where we pomodoro thru writing (and emails + course prep), but other writing activities welcome!

The NYT "poor real estate owners and their sad empty office buildings" is making the rounds today, but don't sleep on this Kanaka-silencing claim that Maui "locals" want their tourism back after the fires. Sure, more extraction, colonialism, and more long-distance carbon-emitting flights will help 🙄

Image of NYT headline: "Tourists Were Told to Avoid Maui. Many Workers Want Them Back." Article excerpt reads: A plunge in tourism after a disastrous fire has already crippled the economy in Maui. Now, some locals who wanted visitors to stay away are urging them back.

Any rule about how you are "supposed to" read anything is a lie! An exclusionary and often ableist one! Read it once or a million times. Skim it or spend hours on every page. Visual or audio. Read however brings you pleasure, however works best for the meeting of the book and your brain.

From Cathy Hannabach's EFA keynote on this weekend: "Critical generosity is part of how we care for each other in community—care for authors, readers, publishers, and fellow editors alike..." Beautiful reflections on editing and justice! Full text here: ideasonfire.net/editing-as-w... #amediting

Thematically! I think about which books are in conversation with each other (not necessarily explicitly, in my own thinking), and group these together. Because the conversations are overlapping, most of the time the flow from one convo to another is clear. I can always find what I'm looking for.

Micha Rahder @micharahder.bsky.social · 13/08/2023

Hiii, I'm not actively publishing in this realm right now ("independent scholar" = slow scholar by default) but would certainly count myself in this group. Plus I work as editor for many scholars under this umbrella now!
