## Phase 1 — Introduction

Book topic: [book topic]
About the author: [author background, expertise and why they are writing this book]

Task: write the introduction of the book. It must:
- grab the reader from the very first lines
- set out the purpose of the book, its key themes and why it matters or is useful to the reader
- give a glimpse of the author's background, expertise and reasons for writing it
- read like a gripping story that establishes the book's tone and leaves the reader eager for what follows

If the author details above are missing, ask me for them before writing.

## Phase 2 — Outline

Book topic: [book topic]

Task: build a detailed outline that arranges the content of the book into chapters or sections in a logical order.

For each section, list:

Make sure the ideas flow smoothly and progress naturally, with every section building on the one before it. This outline will be the roadmap I follow when writing the book.

## Phase 3 — Chapter content

Book topic: [book topic]
Outline: [paste the outline]

Task: for each chapter or section of the outline, write content that is engaging and informative.

Rules:
- explain complex ideas through vivid examples, anecdotes and analogies
- bring in research, statistics and expert insights to add credibility
- keep the same tone and voice from start to finish
- make sure the content serves the overall purpose and themes of the book

If the book is long, work one chapter at a time and wait for my go-ahead before the next one.
