 Decades of Experience in Health Science Writing and Editing
Benefit from an international journal editor's insight to master publishing.
Your Partner in Nursing and Health Science Publishing
At Publication Accelerator, I believe that high-quality health science research deserves a global audience. As a career academic and an editor, my mission is to empower nurses and health professionals who are often left without a roadmap for publication after graduation.
I understand the unique needs of doctoral- and master's-graduates in making the leap from academic paper to manuscript for publication. My approach is rooted in 20 years of scientific writing coaching and 3 years as an Editor-in-Chief/Associate Editor for an international nursing journal. I don't just offer edits; I offer a structured, encouraging partnership designed to build your confidence and your CV.
Meet the Founder
Michelle DeCoux Hampton, PhD, RN, is the founder and publication consultant for The Publication Accelerator. Dr. Hampton honed her structured and individualized approach to scientific writing development and publishing over more than 20 years in nursing education, graduate academic leadership, and journal editing.
She has successfully supported hundreds of students, clinicians, and academic scholars in scientific writing development and publishing original research, systematic reviews, and quality improvement projects across a variety of clinical specialties.
What Coaching Offers Over AI
Writing is hard! While AI is a powerful tool to support writing, it can’t replace the deep learning that occurs when you undertake the process of reading the literature, critically appraising and synthesizing the evidence to build your expertise as a scholar in your field. With that knowledge, you will have the ability to contribute to real improvements in health care access, safety, quality, effectiveness, and equity.
Unlike general editing services, I bring specific strategies to identify and help you move past the roadblocks that stall your writing. I come from the perspective of a health science researcher and an editor and understand the content and structural characteristics of a manuscript that reviewers are looking for and how to translate a dissertation or DNP Project into a concise, impactful journal article.

I've experienced this coaching with Dr. Hampton. My manuscript was accepted and published within 5 weeks of submission. Superb resource for novice and seasoned authors. Thank you, Dr. Hampton for this invaluable resource.

Dr. Hampton's writing coach skills are superb. Students entered the Doctoral program as fair writers but without direction or cohesion. Dr. Hampton's systematic methods of assessing writing skill and recommending improvements are successful because they are evidence-based. Additionally, her critiques give usable and practical ways of incorporating changes to improve overall quality of the paper.
