## Resource

In this episode, Jo talks with Emily Doucet about the process of creating a draft of your book, article, or whatever. Emily is a developmental editor and recently developed a course for scholarly writers to support the creation of an early draft of your manuscript. We talk about what a first draft needs; why thinking of it as a "shitty first draft" can be unhelpful; and what kinds of work might go into this stage of the process.
