Jenna Benton
I built the First Draft Store to give writers simple, practical tools that take the guesswork out of getting words on the page. My goal is to help you stop waiting for perfect conditions and start building real momentum. Let’s get your first draft finished!
I’ve spent more than two decades helping people get their words out of their heads and onto the page. As a writer and coach, I’ve worked on everything from books and speeches to curriculum and brand storytelling. My clients have gone on to write fiction, memoirs, devotionals, children’s books, and more. Nothing makes me prouder than seeing them finish what they once thought they couldn’t.

If that sounds familiar, you’re in the right place. The First Draft Store was built for writers who’ve been waiting for the right moment to finally begin. Here, you’ll find tools simple enough to start today and designed to help you finish.
Books are quick, self-paced guides you can download and start using right away. Trainings go a little deeper — they may include step-by-step instruction, video lessons, and practical exercises to help you apply what you’re learning. Some trainings may include a private coaching session with Jenna.
Not at all. Everything here is designed for real people — not perfect writers. Whether you’re starting your first project or getting back into writing after a break, these resources will meet you right where you are.
Each resource has been designed by an experienced coach to break big goals into small, doable steps. You’ll get structure, focus, and the mindset tools you need to actually finish your first draft.
Absolutely. There are no deadlines, no pressure, and no complicated systems. You can use each guide or training on your schedule and revisit it whenever you need a boost.
Start with what feels most helpful right now. If you’re still shaping your idea, try How to Decide What to Write. If fear or perfectionism keeps you stuck, Brave Writing is a great first step. And if you want personal support, check out 1:1 Coaching.
