Faculty Accelerator

Hands-on 1-on-1 support for your ADHD faculty members

Susanne Schotanus of ADHD Writing Solutions

Help your ADHD faculty publish more

(without adding to your workload)

Your ADHD faculty members want to publish. They have the ideas, the expertise, and the ambition. But despite everyone’s best efforts, articles sit unfinished, book chapters stall, and tenure clocks keep ticking.

They need personalized support to build sustainable writing practices—but you don’t have time to become an ADHD expert and meet with them every other week.

That’s exactly what the Faculty Accelerator provides.

You can use the below Table of Contents to easily get the information you want from this page.

How this will help

I will personally work with your ADHD faculty, to help them develop personalized strategies to prioritize and increase their writing output. As a result of my academic productivity coaching, you’ll gain:

  • Increased publication output supporting university rankings
  • Higher tenure success rates
  • Improved faculty retention and satisfaction
  • Measurable progress tracking with the quarterly reports

Your ADHD faculty will go from “full of potential” to regularly published scholars building the reputation your department deserves.

What actually happens in these sessions

Every session is tailored to where your faculty member is stuck right now.

I help them:

Build accountability structures that work

Vague deadlines don't motivate ADHD brains. We create personalized accountability that actually drives action

Design sustainable writing routines

Not "write for 4 hours daily" (which doesn't work for all ADHD brains), but systems that create consistent progress even on chaotic weeks

Manage competing demands

Teaching, service, advising, and writing all pull in different directions. We build realistic prioritization systems that account for ADHD urgency-motivation

Understand their specific ADHD writing patterns

Why do they avoid certain projects? When does hyperfocus help vs. hurt? What triggers their perfectionism?

Break through analysis paralysis

ADHD academics often get stuck in research mode, unable to transition to writing. I teach specific strategies to bridge that gap

Navigate revision and submission

Many ADHD writers can start projects but struggle to finish and send them out. I address the specific blocks that happen at the end stages

Each session builds on the last, creating momentum that carries through the entire semester.

What this delivers for your institution

When your ADHD faculty get the right tenure track support, everyone benefits:

Increased publication output

More articles submitted and accepted, supporting department rankings

Higher tenure success rates

Faculty meet publication requirements without burning out

Improved retention

Faculty feel supported and capable instead of stuck and demoralized

Measurable progress tracking

Quarterly reports show concrete outcomes (if you request them)

Time saved

I provide the specialized attention and expertise you don't have bandwidth for

Your faculty member goes from “full of potential but underproducing” to a consistent contributor building the scholarly reputation your department deserves.

Who this works best for

The Faculty Accelerator is a faculty development program, ideal for:

This program works when the faculty member genuinely wants to increase their output and is open to trying new approaches.

What academics say about my coaching

Why me?

I’m the only ADHD writing coach who has spent five years working exclusively with ADHD writers. Since 2020, I’ve coached hundreds of writers, with academics consistently making up over 60% of my practice.

I understand:

  • The neuroscience of ADHD and how to work with executive function challenges
  • The specific demands of academic writing — from article structure to peer review to navigating revise-and-resubmit
  • The pressure points of academic careers — tenure clocks, publication metrics, balancing research with teaching

I don’t just understand ADHD in theory. I’ve spent thousands of hours developing and refining strategies that actually work for neurodivergent brains in academic contexts.

Do you want to talk to me?

How this works

Working with me is easy. 

1. You schedule a free 30-minute strategy call with me

We’ll discuss your department’s specific situation, institutional payment requirements, and confirm this program is the right fit

2. I send you a proposal and referral link

If we decide to move forward, you’ll receive a formal proposal and a unique link to share with your faculty member.

3. Your faculty member books their intake call

They’ll schedule directly with me for a discovery session where we assess fit and answer their questions.

3. Coaching begins

Once we’ve confirmed mutual buy-in, we schedule the first session and begin the work.

Frequently Asked Questions

What if the faculty member is skeptical or resistant?

I only work with people who genuinely want coaching. If someone feels forced or isn’t open to trying new approaches, I won’t take them on. The intake call ensures mutual fit.

Chemistry matters in coaching. If either of us feels it’s not a good match after the intake, we’ll part ways—no hard feelings, no charge. You can always refer other faculty members in the future.

We can discuss flexibility during the strategy call. Life happens, and I’m open to reasonable accommodations.

Many faculty members renew for an additional semester, especially if they’re working on a book or have ongoing publication goals. We can discuss continuation options as the semester ends.

As I’m based in Europe, I’m perfectly positioned to work with academics from all over the world.

  • Normally, I have coaching sessions with Australians in their evenings
  • I meet with Europeans during their business hours
  • And I have time for people based in the Americas during their mornings and early afternoons.

Give your ADHD faculty the support they need

Your ADHD faculty members have the talent and ideas to strengthen your department’s reputation. They can contribute meaningful research and build the publication record your institution values.

They just need someone who understands both ADHD brains and academic writing to guide them toward sustainable success.

Let me provide that support while you focus on everything else that demands your attention.
