Help me create a practical ebook for [TARGET READER] about [TOPIC], centered naturally on the keyword [TARGET KEYWORD]. My source material, expertise, and allowed claims are: [SOURCE NOTES]. The ebook's goal is [READER OUTCOME], and its planned length is [LENGTH OR WORD COUNT]. First, ask up to 3 clarifying questions only if a required input is missing. Then produce: 1. A working title, subtitle, and one-sentence promise that does not overpromise. 2. A table of contents with 6-10 chapters. Each chapter must move the reader toward the stated outcome; do not use filler chapters or repeat the same advice. 3. A brief reader-profile and scope note stating what the ebook covers and does not cover.
4. The full draft in clear prose, with an opening that establishes the problem, chapter introductions, practical steps, examples grounded only in my notes, and a final action plan or checklist. 5. A keyword plan: primary keyword placement in the title or subtitle, introduction, one relevant heading, and conclusion; list 5 related phrases to use only where natural. 6. A fact-and-source appendix identifying claims that need a citation, verification, legal review, or expert review before publication. Use a useful nonfiction-book structure: explain the decision or concept, show how to apply it, identify common mistakes, then give the reader a next action. Keep paragraphs scannable, define specialized terms on first use, and avoid invented stories, statistics, testimonials, quotes, credentials, or research. Do not write SEO filler or make every heading a keyword variation. Before answering, check that every chapter has a distinct job and flag every claim unsupported by my source notes. Also check that the promised reader outcome is realistically achievable from the material provided.

Variations
Ebook outline
Use this before drafting a long ebook.
Create a detailed ebook outline for [TARGET READER] on [TOPIC]. The reader needs to achieve [OUTCOME], and the ebook should target [KEYWORD]. Use these approved notes: [NOTES]. Produce a title, subtitle, reader promise, 8-chapter table of contents, 3-5 bullet points per chapter, and a list of missing research. Make each chapter advance the reader's work. Flag any point unsupported by my notes; do not invent evidence or examples.
Lead magnet
Use this for a short downloadable ebook that earns sign-ups.
Write a 1,500-word lead-magnet ebook for [AUDIENCE] on [PROBLEM]. The download should lead readers toward [NEXT STEP] without hiding the useful advice. Use only these facts and examples: [SOURCE MATERIAL]. Produce a title, a short introduction, five actionable sections, a one-page checklist, and a gentle closing CTA. Include [KEYWORD] naturally, not repeatedly. Flag claims that need proof and do not invent results, customer stories, or statistics.
Ebook revision
Use this to strengthen an existing manuscript.
Edit this ebook draft for [TARGET READER]: [DRAFT]. Its intended outcome is [OUTCOME], and its target keyword is [KEYWORD]. Return an editorial memo with gaps, repeated sections, unsupported claims, and unclear transitions; then provide a revised table of contents and rewrite only the three weakest sections. Preserve accurate author voice and facts. Do not add research, quotes, or case studies. Check that each revision serves a distinct reader need.
Tips
- Build the table of contents around decisions and actions the reader must take, not broad topic labels.
- Treat the ebook as a source-backed asset: mark statistics, regulatory claims, and attributed advice for verification before layout.
- Use one recurring framework or checklist across chapters so readers can apply the material instead of collecting disconnected tips.
- A keyword belongs where it helps a reader orient themselves; forced repetitions make a book less credible and less readable.
FAQ
Can AI write an entire ebook from a short prompt?
It can create a draft, but the useful parts require your expertise, sources, examples, and fact checking. Start with an approved outline if the topic has consequences for readers.
How many keywords should an ebook target?
Usually one primary phrase plus a small set of related phrases is enough. Write for the reader's problem first, then place phrases only where they describe the content accurately.
Can I turn the draft into a PDF?
Yes. First finalize facts and structure, then move the manuscript into a document or design tool for editing, layout, cover design, and PDF export.
