First/Next Draft Strategy Session
With Award-Winning Editor + Coach, Kristina Paider
There’s a strategy for figuring out how to approach your book, keynote, TEDx talk, or personal brand story for 2026.
​
When we don't have clarity, writing meanders, loses focus, and feels fragmented.
​
The land of fear and uncertainty is where ideas and good intentions end up in the project graveyard.
​
It’s a brain twister to do this solo, no matter who you are or how many things you’ve written.
​
Working in collaboration on the initial steps 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
-
Review & discussion of what you have, what you need, and the gap between the two.
-
Custom prescribed path forward to a completed first/next draft.
-
Introduction to the 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.
