Sh*tty First Drafts is a podcast hosted by two writers, Brynn and Stephanie, that aims to demystify the writing process through conversation and a good sense of humor. Each episode, a guest writer is asked to share an older piece of writing—whether it's an early draft of a current work or something scrawled in a high school notebook—as well as a newer, polished piece. While the show is centered around writing and drafting, it also seeks insight into the evolution of writers over time and how that affects the way they approach the page, revision, and getting shit done. SFD plans to interview writers of different genres, experience, and style, while asking the same question: how do you get from the shitty first draft to the final one?
