After gathering creative ideas from the client, the team shared three topic suggestions with the client. Once the client selected and personalized their ideal topic, J&B prepared a detailed outline for the client. After reviewing J&B’s outline, the client wrote the first draft of their story based on the themes/overall plotline suggested by J&B. Next, the team edited the client’s draft and returned it to them with suggestions, which they considered in their next draft. The client then prepared the final draft of their short story, which J&B polished based on their goals. At the end of the project, the client prepared a brief synopsis of their short story which the team reviewed before the client submitted it.

The team worked closely with the client to ensure that their language, plot, motifs, and story structure highlighted the goals of their short story.
