Faculty Writing Support

The Faculty Writing Coach specializes in working with faculty on their writing projects, and their writing process.  This includes providing writing feedback, and one-to-one writing coaching.  To stay on track with your project, try joining (or starting) a faculty writing group.

Dr. Ron Martinez can offer support and guidance in key areas of the writing process.  Feel free to submit a support request formbook an appointment or email at ronmartinez@ou.edu.

Writing Feedback

The Faculty Writing Coach, Dr. Ron Martinez, can provide substantive and developmental editing on your writing at any stage of development, from any discipline.  Note that the emphasis is in helping you express yourself in the best way possible, not mere copy-edits. 

Dr. Martinez is happy to work with faculty on their:

  • Journal articles
  • Book chapters
  • Book proposals
  • Cover letters
  • Response to reviewers
  • Tenure/promotion dossiers
  • Proposals

Writing Groups that Support the Process

  • Ongoing Writing Groups

These are groups run on a continuous basis.  They can be a group of faculty from different disciplines that meet once a week to write together (an "accountability group"), or an "affinity group" who are all engaged in a similar type of project (e.g. a monograph).  Generally speaking, time to write is the focus of these groups.

Writing Groups that Support the Process
  • Faculty-Initiated Writing Groups

You, as faculty, can also initiate a group that is facilitated by the Faculty Writing Coach.  For example, the Faculty Writing Coach can help you and your co-authors approach a writing project strategically, and also help keep you on track through a project-specific writing group.  Do you want to write together or discuss writing with colleagues?  Dr. Ron Martinez can also help you get a writing group started in your department or institute, for example.
