Superior First Draft Coaching
With Award-Winning Editor + Coach, Kristina Paider

There’s a strategy for figuring out how to approach and develop your book, keynote, TEDx talk, or personal brand story for 2026--
--and it's not white-knuckling it alone.
Every great writer and speaker has a team. It's time for you to build yours.
Collaboration is a force multiplier.
It catapults you off the blank page and changes the game.
The Humbling Truth
Making progress is NOT…
-
Meandering through files, trying to piece something together from rando fragments.
-
Rewriting that one piece for the zillionth time.
-
Googling random shit in the name of research.
-
Trying that new cottage cheese-based Snickers recipe instead of actually writing.
As someone who’s done this hundreds of times over the last 20+ years, I now find it easy and fun, and want you to enjoy the same experience.
What's Included
-
Ten hours of 1:1 coaching to guide you to your first or next draft, including review & discussion of what you have, what you need, and the gap between the two.
-
Custom prescribed path forward with exact tools and frameworks to expedite your process.
-
An assignment plan with micro-tasks to make it easy to work in small increments of time.
-
Absolute clarity on your most important next steps.
-
Time can be used for meetings, reviews, accountability, and story strategy in the proportion the author chooses.
