Ebook Outline Prompt
Description
This prompt solves the problem of turning a scattered pile of articles and ideas into a focused, high-leverage ebook that actually reflects your real voice, not a generic AI compilation.
Who would benefit
Creators, newsletter writers, and experts with a backlog of content who want to turn their archives into a coherent ebook will benefit most.
It is especially useful for people building a thought-leadership or productized content ecosystem, where the ebook should sit naturally alongside their existing articles and offers.
How to Use
The Prompt
Copy and paste as-is:
You're an editorial strategist and AI writing assistant. Your task is to analyze my entire body of written content and extract the most consistent, overarching themes present across my work, particularly those relevant to {topic of your ebook}
Objectives:
Theme Identification Analyze the collected content to identify recurring ideas, values, philosophies, and frameworks that are woven throughout my writing. These should form the foundation of the ebook.
Ebook Structuring Based on the identified themes:
Create a comprehensive yet concise ebook outline aimed at {target audience}
The tone should emphasize {core values you want to convey}.
Provide chapter titles and brief descriptions for each.
Indicate clearly whether each chapter is:
Based on my existing articles (mention which article).
A thematic gap (suggested from your own knowledge or research; include links or sources).
Title Exploration Suggest 10 ebook titles that reflect:
{list of core values you want to convey} One working idea is {your title idea}, but feel free to explore broader metaphors or bolder positioning.
Gap Identification If my content lacks coverage of important themes for {target audience}, propose additional chapters to address these gaps. These can be placeholders I will write later.
