I share how I used Claude AI as a writing coach and editor while developing my next book project. Unlike my previous technical books, this one focuses on helping solopreneur parents who feel trapped by their businesses.
I walk through my detailed process of using Claude to:
- Challenge my initial assumptions and poke holes in my ideas
- Define my target audience through pointed questioning
- Refine my book's promise and differentiators
- Identify the transformational story that should open the book
The breakthrough came when Claude helped me realize my real audience isn't just entrepreneurs wanting systems, but specifically solopreneur parents who need the confidence to step away from their business without everything falling apart. My success metric evolved from teaching mechanics to helping readers confidently go on family vacation without checking email.
I emphasize finding ethical ways to leverage AI that enhance rather than replace human creativity, and share why I'm excited to build this book in public.
