About this listen

Finally finish the first draft of your novel with a method that maximizes efficiency, speed, and joy.

After months (or years) of writing, are you left with nothing but a folder full of false starts? Do you have a novel you were once excited to write but abandoned after only a few chapters—or even halfway through? Are you trapped in an endless cycle of rewrites, self-doubt, and perfectionism?

Enter the Novel Fast Drafting Method: a proven approach for getting your book out of your head and onto the page in as little as 30 days. Jessica Brody, best-selling author of Save the Cat! Writes a Novel, will guide you step-by-step through her 3-phase process that’s helped thousands of writers finish their first drafts in weeks instead of years:

  • Mindset: Adopt the mindset of a “chronic finisher” and overcome the destructive beliefs that cause 97% of writers to quit
  • Preparation: Build your story’s foundation, set achievable goals, and prepare both your day-to-day life and writing schedule for success
  • Drafting: Master proven strategies to maintain consistent momentum, discover the story faster, and finish in record time—so you’re ready to revise with confidence and clarity

With fast drafting, you’ll gain the mental space, freedom, and motivation to easily and more joyfully finish every writing project you start—faster than you ever thought possible.
