Hey all, Just wondering if anyone has prompts they like to use for beta reading with AI ?

One of the things I do as soon as a new report comes out (Romance just came out) is have Chat analyze it for me for the hottest trends. I actually asked it what the HOTTEST genre that you can write to market today - and it gave me some cool results. But what was interesting to me was this: ⚠️ What Looks Profitable But Isn’t “Quick” Just to save you time: - Mafia romance → slower unless you already have audience - Dark romance → higher volatility, slower trust build - Romantasy → long runway, high effort, delayed payoff - Sports romance → profitable, but not quick anymore (too crowded) Even though when asked - these are up there as HOT.... they aren't as easy to break into so if you are new and are looking for something you don't have to market as much - these aren't it. Here's my affiliate link for K-Lytics if you don't already have it.... honestly this has been the best $$ I've spent on reports ever. https://k-lytics.com/dap/a/?a=24047&p=k-lytics.com/romance

Skills are basically instruction sets that teach Claude best practices for specific tasks. If you think of it like cooking - sometimes we have that recipe that we know how to throw together. You eyeball the spices and measure with your heart. That's prompting in ai. You put in what you know and each time it comes out a little bit different, but generally the same overall vibe. When you get it just the way you like it, the spices are right the temperature and times are just right, you might write down the recipe. That's what Claude skills is. You can save a prompt set, or a workflow, as a skill and then call on it again the next time you need it to have it do the same thing. For this to work you must be on a paid claude plan (not free version, not using API). This also works in Antigravity (You can make them with antigravity in antigravity). I have skills for: Developmental Edits Line Edits Copy Edits Book Cover Prompts for Ideogram Name Changes Book Blurb Creator Category and Keywords (I have one for english, french, italian, german, and spanish) Etc. Making A Skill: When signed into claude: Go to Settings -> Capabilities, and you'll find the skills area (at the bottom). There you can click the "+Add" button and you'll see a menu with three options: 1) Create with claude (vibe-coding): this is where a claude chat window will open and the skill prompt is written for you and you just type in what you want it to do. You can refine it as you go so don't worry about getting it just right. 2) Write Skill Instructions: if you have something already written up select this and fill in the fields. 3) Upload a skill: if you have a markdown file that you already have you can upload it here. Optional: I name my skills so I can easily call on them. For example I could name my developmental editor skill "DevEdit" (and put that in the skill description "I will request this skill by asking for the "DevEdit" skill") Using the Skill: Let's say I have a full manuscript in md or I have a few chapters drafted. I can type into claude's chat window "Use the DevEdit skill on these chapters" and paste the chapters if claude doesn't already have them and hit enter.

This is one of those loops I'm currently finding myself in. I'm writing a "quick" (that's in fricken quotes for a reason) MM Romcom - mainly for YT and also to test out Spoken (@Alexis Sacco is now certified to take projects over there)... My last STUPID edit (this is why I need to leave well enough alone) cut the book in half. Now I'm rewriting because I wasn't paying attention and it can't revert at the moment. How's your Monday going 🙄

Let's get to know each other! Comment below sharing where you are in the world, what genre(s) you write, and something you like to do for fun. 😊
