What is Early Drafters

Meet your workshop host

Hi, I'm Andrea!

I'm a book coach and the owner of The Final Draft. I love watching writers have lightbulb moments where everything clicks and they have new inspiration!

My passion is to empower writers through compassionate instruction and supportive

challenge to improve their writing craft and bring their book dreams to life.

With a background in tutoring, I help your student writer up their creative game, learn the foundations of writing quality fiction, and feed the fire that is their drive to write stories!

Your Student Loves to Write...

Fuel their inspiration!

They've always got their head in a book.

They love crafting wild adventures and have the imagination to match.

Maybe they participate in roleplaying or D&D, or they dabble in fan fiction.

They've written stories for as long as you can remember. Maybe they even talk about wanting to be a writer or a published author someday!

Whether your student has one or many stories to tell, has a lot or a little experience, Early Drafters Creative Writing Workshops are exactly what they need! Early Drafters is a program for middle school and high school-aged students that teaches young writers the building blocks of quality storytelling, from crafting empathetic characters to dreaming up a whole world to nailing down the pacing of the conflict. In our workshops, we cover it all.

When your student joins a workshop, they'll gain writing experience, confidence, skills, inspiration, and an understanding of revision, all within a safe and encouraging community of other writers.

Collaboration is Key

Interactive Lessons

Live online lessons are interactive, encouraging students to ask questions and apply their own reading and writing experience.

With real-life examples, students will be able to see each concept in action in a wide array of age-appropriate literature.

Peer-to-Peer Feedback

In a round-table discussion, students have the opportunity to share their ideas and even samples of their writing and practice giving and receiving feedback.

Students learn the importance of critical feedback and how to share critiques that are gently constructive and receive them gracefully.

Learn from a Pro

On top of the feedback they'll receive from their peers on each story, every student receives custom-tailored feedback on each and every story they turn in from me, personally!

This is the same style and depth of feedback I give to my private clients! Each comment is written clearly and is built around concepts we learn throughout the 6 weeks.
