A Goodreads user asked Robin Stevens:

How many draughts do you have to do of a book before you are content with it? Also how do you know when it is perfect and ready to publish?

Robin Stevens Hi Eve! I do at least four drafts for each of my books. My plots need a lot of honing - they have to be PERFECT! That's how I know when they're ready, when everything flows and all of the clues add up right. It's a really great feeling. I think I'm getting there with Book 6 at the moment. I'm on my third draft and it's beginning to fly!
