If academia has left you burned out, fed up, and underpaid, you’re not alone—the system is broken.
You love the teaching and research, but you’re exhausted by senseless paper rejections, toxic colleagues, and doing unpaid labor disguised as “service.”
You’ve been needing a change for a while. Let me show you what else you can do with the skills you already have.
🤔 Here’s what you probably don’t realize:
Every time you edit a colleague’s paper, mentor a graduate student, or review a manuscript—that’s work that professional editors and coaches get paid thousands of dollars to do!
Your university keeps piling on the work (without giving you a raise). Why not use your skills in a business that you control and that pays you for your time, knowledge, and effort?
Most academics think they could never run a business.
⛔ Wrong. You already have the skills. You just need to know how to package and price them.
Inside my course and group coaching program, I provide step-by-step guidance and community support to help you confidently monetize your expertise. Without the burnout.
In my free videos on academic editing and coaching, you’ll see exactly how:
☑️ I started earning $10,000/month—working from home, just 30 hours a week
☑️ You can land your first paying client within 30 days—even if you’ve never run a business
☑️ My students have gotten fully booked within 60-90 days of completing my program

Meet Paulina S. Cossette, PhD
CEO, ACADIA EDITING SERVICES
After spending 12 years in academia as a graduate student and political science professor on the tenure track, and struggling to find joy and work-life balance while working 7 days a week, I finally found the courage to leave the academy in 2019.
Since becoming a copy editor and business coach, I’ve built a thriving 6-figure business that allows me to live and work wherever and whenever I want, take real vacations without any guilt, and collaborate with kind, brilliant clients all over the world. I’m sharing what I’ve learned with scholars who need a change so you can find joy and true time freedom, too.
Are you ready to dive in to a fresh life in line with your values and build a new, flourishing career you love?
