ChatGPT/LLM Prompt: Book Blueprint (Writing and Editing Books)

$4.99

This is a single, copy/paste prompt for ChatGPT (or any LLM) that creates a “Book Blueprint” (also called a Book Bible / Canon): the one reusable source of truth that keeps a book consistent from start to finish.

If you’ve ever felt like your book idea is “in your head but not organized,” or your drafts drift as you write, this prompt turns scattered thoughts into a clear, structured plan you (or an AI) can reliably follow.

What it’s for

  • Fiction: locks in premise, character arcs, world rules, stakes, continuity anchors, and story engine so your plot doesn’t wander.

  • Nonfiction: locks in reader promise, transformation, core framework, proof strategy, and chapter patterns so your book stays coherent and persuasive.

  • Series writing: optionally uses prior-series context to preserve canon and track open threads.

  • AI-assisted drafting: gives you a clean, consistent blueprint you can paste into future prompts so the model stays on-voice and on-canon.

Why it’s different

  • Highly customizable: almost everything is controlled by inputs at the bottom (with defaults).

  • Optional clarifying questions: you choose how many questions it asks first (0–10). Then it still produces the blueprint using reasonable assumptions (no waiting).

  • Strict avoid-strings control: you can provide a comma-separated list of words/phrases to ban, and the output will never include those exact strings.

  • Genre-optional: leave genre blank for genre-agnostic planning, or set genre/subgenre for genre-aligned structure.

  • Style control without confusion: you can set a style_reference (traits or an author name) and it converts that into general writing traits (tone, pacing, sentence style) while keeping the output original.

What the output looks like (plain text, copy/paste friendly)
When you run the prompt, you receive a structured blueprint in a consistent format that’s easy to reuse. The output looks like this:

  • Questions (optional; exactly the number you set)

  • BOOK BLUEPRINT START

    1. Project Snapshot (title, logline/promise, genre, audience, outcome)

    2. Premise / Promise (1 paragraph)

    3. Core Pillars (3–7 bullets)

    4. Style Guide (concrete rules: tone, pacing, POV/tense, sentence style, dialogue guidance)

    5. Structure Intent (fiction or nonfiction structure plan)

    6. Core Elements (fiction: characters/world/conflict engine OR nonfiction: reader profile/transformation/framework)

    7. Content Boundaries and Constraints (must-include / must-avoid / sensitive areas)

    8. Canon Facts and Continuity Anchors (rules that must remain true)

    9. Series Context (optional)

    10. Research Needs (only if applicable)

    11. Redacted Avoid-Strings Reminder (only if you set avoid_strings)

  • BOOK BLUEPRINT END

  • Assumptions Made (only if needed)

In other words: you’re buying one prompt that reliably outputs a professional “book bible” you can reuse throughout your writing and editing process.
