<![CDATA[The Final Draft Podcast]]>Most writing podcasts help you figure out what story you’re telling and how to get the words down. Well, this podcast isn’t for the first-draft writer. You’ve already done that part. Maybe you’ve even done a few rounds of revision, but you just can’t seem to reach that elusive “final” draft.

Hi, we’re Amber and Carrie. We’ve spent years in the publishing industry helping writers turn working manuscripts into finished books through developmental editing, book coaching, and plenty of revision. Now, we’re bringing those same tools to you—so you can diagnose what’s not working, make purposeful changes to your manuscript, and finally get your story out of revision limbo and into the hands of readers.
