5 steps to a reviewable draft

  1. 01

    Define the reader outcome

    State the problem the guide helps solve and where the reader starts.

    Result: One reader outcome.

  2. 02

    Map the evidence

    List sources, examples and expert input needed for each part.

    Result: A source map with gaps visible.

  3. 03

    Draft chapter jobs

    Ask for chapters that each advance the reader rather than repeat a topic.

    Result: A chapter plan with source checks.

    Your prompt

    Create an ebook outline. Reader outcome: {{outcome}}. Sources: {{sources}}. Include chapter job, evidence need and editor question. Mark unsupported detail [NEEDS SOURCE]. Do not invent research, quotes or results.
