Stop Sending Out Sloppy Books (AI Can Fix It in Half the Time)

I don’t care how “inspired” your first draft felt…If you send it out without editing, you’re not an author—you’re just a person who types fast.

Here’s the truth:

📚 Writing the book gets you in the game.

✍🏽 Editing the book gets you the win.

And most authors quit in the middle because they think editing is painful, expensive, and slow.

But that’s 2010 thinking.

It's 2025. We’ve got AI. And it’s like having a personal editor in your pocket—24/7, no coffee breaks, no judgment.

The Problem

Your draft is bloated.

You repeat yourself.

You drift off-topic.

You use 17 words when 7 would do.

You can’t see it because you’re too close to it. That’s why editing feels like pushing a boulder uphill in the rain.

The Fix: My 5-Step AI Editing Workflow

Here’s exactly how I clean my chapters without hiring a $2,000/month editor:

1. Clarity Pass – Make it punchy

AI Prompt:"Rewrite this chapter for clarity and flow. Cut filler. Keep sentences under 20 words. Keep my voice warm and conversational."

2. Consistency Pass – Keep the style on-brand

AI Prompt: "Review this chapter for voice consistency. Highlight any sentences that don’t match this tone: [paste tone description]. Suggest fixes."

3. Tighten Hooks & Endings – Start strong, finish stronger

AI Prompt: "Improve the first 3 sentences for curiosity and punch. Strengthen the final paragraph with a cliffhanger into the next chapter."

4. Reader Experience Pass – Make it bingeable

AI Prompt: "Review this chapter for reader engagement. Add subheadings, bullet points, and short paragraphs to improve readability."

5. Proofreading Pass – No typos, no excuses

AI Prompt:" Proofread this chapter for grammar, spelling, and punctuation errors. Make minimal changes to preserve my voice."

The Result

A clean, tight, readable chapter that feels effortless—because the hard work is invisible.

Your readers won’t say, “Wow, this was perfectly edited.” They’ll say, “I couldn’t put it down.” That’s the point.
