The Agile First Draft method was developed by Annie Jackson as the subject for her Master’s thesis in Creative Writing, “The Advantage of an Iterative Writing Process for Novels and Short Stories.”
Annie is the author of Tattered Heart and Enchanted Storms, Books 1 and 2 in the Princess Kingdoms series of clean YA fantasy fairy tale retellings. Before writing fiction, she worked in film and television production, an experience that shaped how she thinks about story structure, audience engagement, and emotional pacing.
