Feedback from pilot participants in the 6-week instructor-led course:
"Once you take the DNP manuscript course, you will walk away with confidence, focus, and the tools/resources to produce a high-quality manuscript. The course instructor [Sara] works with each participant personally (during sessions) to identify, guide, and direct best practices during the course sessions. If you have doubts about approaching the rigorous process of manuscript development, Sara makes each step of the process come into focus."
"This 6-week course will surely assist in the manuscript writing journey. Examples and individualized feedback makes the experience rich."
"The My DNP Manuscript program is the best out there! If you are serious about writing a high-quality manuscript, make this... program your first choice."
"[The value of] the information I learned from this program is incalculable. Equipped now with the "how to" write a manuscript for publication, I am more confident in preparing to submit to journal(s)."
"[This course is] all the information you need in a concise, succinct format that turns your paper from capstone project to manuscript ready for publication."
"This course is an excellent way to pull together and focus all of the elements of a solid publication."
"Every session makes me more grateful to be part of this program. Thank you!"
"The part of the program that I found the most useful was the simplicity in the explanation of the parts of the manuscript. In other words, I can see my DNP capstone project transforming into a manuscript for publication."
"The layout and formatting of this program make this manuscript-writing process so much easier. Thank you, Sara!!"
"The sessions are facilitated with great care, professionalism, and detail to keep everyone on track and engaged."
"I think I learn the most from listening to the discussions [during our sessions]. It helps reinforce the content."
"Sara does a great job of getting straight to the point. She explains exactly what needs to go in each section and why. I enjoy that there is not a lot of 'fluff' or flowery language needed in each section."
After Session 5: "I like the open q&a discussion. At this point we have a working document, so the real-time feedback is the most beneficial. It also helps to hear what others may be working on in the group as well."
Session 4 was " A really great presentation that was easy to understand and [with] examples to bring it to life."
The benefits of the course after Session 2 are "[That we are] a small cohort. That the expert, Sara, is easy to follow with a very engaging presentation method. I am very grateful for the simplicity of the approach thus far...making what seems like a very complex process more approachable in this broken down, step-by-step method."
The most helpful part of Session 1 was "Clear examples of how to write an impactful introduction, along with good discussion of the pitfalls that hamper this process. The follow-up videos are a great reinforcement of the learning concepts and gave me a better opportunity to take notes that I can now apply to my manuscript."

Feedback from pilot testers of the on-demand, self-paced program:
“So well done! As I was listening to [Session 1], I was thinking I wished I had this resource 2 years ago or even last year. I would not feel so stressed and lost about writing a manuscript if I had known about this pilot program. I truly believe this should be offered as a class during a summer semester and maybe as an elective so all students can take advantage and not feel so anxious about writing a manuscript.”
“The most helpful part regarding Session 1 is that it breaks down the information to include in the introduction into 3 simple parts. It creates a template of what specific information to include, what not to include, and how to write.”
“I have spent a lot of time writing manuscripts for my evidence-based practice (EBP) courses but felt lost when it came to my actual project. This course broke it down into simple and easy steps to follow.”
“I loved the flow of this session. Very easy to understand and to the point and the examples provided are very helpful.”
“[Session 2] helped me differentiate between [project purpose and aims]. I was confused before and this [video] does help. Having the examples also helped clear up the confusion.”
“I am glad you added what an aim is not. This also cleared up some confusion.”
“[I liked] the step by step clear explanation of how [purpose and aims] should be written, and the difference between the two.”
“The examples were the most helpful, as well as addressing how not to write aims. I also loved that [the video] discussed the tense of writing. I was not told about this in my classes.”
“Each specific instruction and detail regarding content of each section is extremely helpful in each video. I love the examples provided as well.”
“Clearly indicating what belongs in the discussion and limitation sections [was helpful].”
“I really liked the addition of why a project did not succeed and noting the supporting literature.”
“[I liked] the examples of how to write the discussion and tie in supporting literature.”
“Everything about [Session 6] was helpful. I'm grateful I had the opportunity to use these videos while writing my manuscript. Nothing is worse than feeling lost, and that's how I felt before watching these videos. But, I feel great now and ready to finish my manuscript.”
