Writing the Book

The work has an output

What you work towards.

• Four ways to work: AI drafting, writing together, writing with assistance, or learning to write independently.
• A structure tied to the reader and the promise of the book.
• Working registers that track patterns, anecdotes and promises.
• A handover manifest and supporting files for editing.
• Full chapters in Word files for your reading, feedback and explicit approval, with an authorship log.
• An image plan agreed before chapter drafting begins.

You choose the direction and approve the work. Keep the guide for future books, with a separate folder for each project.

A useful starting point

Before you begin.

Your book charter, research findings and author profile. If you already have a draft, the guide helps establish the correct starting point and required files.

Use the PDF in Claude Cowork on your desktop, with a connected browser (Claude in Chrome or the app’s browser). Attach the previous handover ZIP and paste its start prompt, or type go. External subscriptions are separate. A standalone purchase needs equivalent input files; the guide checks what is missing. If you are unsure whether your files are sufficient, email the team before buying.

Ask the team about your starting point. See the book our complete workflow produced, from research to published paperback and Kindle edition. See the real book and process.
