My university was grateful to have Dr. Curry present an excellent professional development workshop on academic publishing for faculty.  She is a skilled speaker who fully engages her audience.  She offered valuable suggestions on identifying one’s publishing goals, homing in on a paper or research finding to contribute, selecting a target journal, and much more.  Early career faculty were particularly impressed by her practical advice about how to continue their scholarly work beyond completion of their dissertations. We highly recommend her!

Prof. MJ Curry's workshop on "Publishing in English-medium journals by multilingual scholars" was both insightful and practical. It offered invaluable strategies to help multilingual researchers navigate the complexities of academic publishing. The event included findings from her decades of research on the topic and actionable advice, which was particularly appreciated by scholars from diverse linguistic backgrounds and different career stages, making it a highlight of our symposium.

After working with MJ on my own academic writing, I invited her to facilitate an academic publishing workshop on our campus. Fifteen faculty members from disciplines ranging from economics to English to engineering attended the full-day workshop. In advance, MJ collaborated with me and registered participants to design a workshop that would meet the needs of our diverse set of participants. She arrived well-prepared to engage participants in a balanced day of research on academic publishing, brief writing, evaluations of their target journals, and small- and large-group discussions. The day wrapped with handouts on responding to reviewers’ feedback. Participants ended the workshop energized and encouraged to take next steps with their own academic publishing projects.

I’ve worked with MJ twice now – once when running writers’ retreats and a second time on how to incorporate English as a New Language learners into team projects. As we did, I’m confident that you’ll find her suggestions to be practical while grounded in evidence-based principles. She listens well, thinks through issues, and recommends multiple actionable solutions. Her advice helped my university to build stronger writers’ retreats and me to train others in multiple settings about how to run better team projects when one or more members are learning English. I strongly recommend that you reach out to her!
