The first draft is just getting it on the paper. Now that your ideas are on the page, the next step is to take it from half-baked to fully realized. To help you out with that, Roadmap has created a 4-week program to help you identify the issues and areas for improvement that you should focus on when composing your second draft.
Each week writers will get personalized feedback targeting specific areas and a face-to-face dialogue on how to potentially improve your overall draft.
Each writer will implement the notes given each week and will submit starred pages tracking the changes so that the instructor can help keep your progress on track.
By the end of only 4 weeks, you will have a strong second draft to start marketing!
