Fiction Writing Made Easy with Savannah Gilbo | How to Write a Novel & Writing Advice · #255. Student Spotlight: How Grace Draven Learned to Write Faster (Without Sacrificing Quality) · 7 Jul 2026 podcast

Now, Grace is already a very successful writer.

At the time of recording this, she is a five-time USA Today bestseller, and she's written 20 plus books across novels, novellas, and short stories.

You might even remember that I talked about one of Grace's books in an episode where I was

Comparing romantic fantasy to fantasy romance.

I will put that link in the show notes if you are interested in checking out that episode.

So, based on all of that, you might be wondering what was Grace was doing in your Notes to Novel course?

Isn't that for people trying to write their first drafts?

Well, here's the thing: Grace knows how to write a great book.

She has put in the reps and the proof is in her back catalog and all the glowing reviews she has.

But what Grace does

didn't have and what she wanted from Notes to Novel is a faster, more efficient way to write a book without sacrificing quality.

Now, you might remember I did an episode a few months ago on the truth about writing faster and how a lot of writers think that writing fast means writing poorly.

In that episode, it's episode number 224 that I will link to in the show notes.

I talk about how that is not true.

And Grace's story that you'll hear today.

Is proof of that.

In fact, she was able to write 62,000 words in just 21 days to complete her first draft.

And when she handed that draft over to her editor, her editor said, Grace, this is the most solid first draft you've ever given me.

This is a really solid book.

And I mean, come on, that is the dream to hear, right?
