Ninth Draft

by Emily Elaine

Unapologetically honest writing advice from an unapologetically passionate writer. I started writing books after 'bedtime' when I was seven years old and I haven't stopped yet. I've written multiple books, published one as a teen, but have never been satisfied with my work until the Ninth Draft of my current manuscript. What changed? Listen to Ninth Draft so I can share with you the research that turned my writing world upside down.
