I am trying to clean up the manuscript, for bloat, drag and chapters that feel lopsided. I created a routine with ChatGPT and a developmental sheet where I described in short and explained the role of each chapter for my audience. I use the feedback given by AI for fine tuning and I feel I'm making good progress. Here is the prompt I am using: We are continuing book development. Read the attached chapter draft and developmental sheet. First, diagnose the chapter against the sheet. Tell me: 1. what aligns 2. what still misses 3. what drags, repeats, or belongs elsewhere 4. what should be cut, compressed, moved, or expanded 5. the clean chapter spine 6. whether it is developmentally sound or still needs restructuring

Likes: the endorsements add serious credibility. The specs (price, pages, ISBN) are all there which is great for buyers and retailers. Dislikes: the font hierarchy makes it hard to scan quickly, too many elements competing for attention. Honestly the one thing I'd fix is the wall of text in the middle. Most people will skim this, so breaking it up with a bold bullet or two would help a lot.

Where would you put it ? in your website landing page?

@Jeremy Shapiro I love your landing page! My book will have a downlodabel AI Toolkit with templates and prompt - given for free to the buyers of the book. I looked at the fields they have to fill in Order# or Receipt#...if someone is just making up numbers you would not have a method to validate, correct? I was thinking to ask the reader to put something from the book as security question, for example, what is the first word of the first paragraph of chapter 3?

I am interested in that as well. If anyone is using it, let us know how it works for you!
