To help the client narrow down their focus, the team shared three topic suggestions and categories with the client. After carefully reviewing J&B’s suggestions, the client shared additional goals for her short story, which J&B incorporated into a finalized topic suggestion for the client. After confirming the topic, J&B shared a detailed, 4-page outline to help the client write their first draft. Following J&B’s outline, the client produced the first half of their short story, which the team edited and returned to the client with suggestions.
