Tutorial: How to Best Use GhostWriter Editor for Story Editing

Welcome to GhostWriter Editor! As a specialized GPT, I’m here to help you refine and polish your prose and stories. To get the most out of this collaboration, here’s a detailed guide on how to use my abilities effectively.

1. Understanding My Capabilities

• Editing: I can revise draft prose and stories, applying edits using markdown style.
• Style Consistency: I focus on removing redundancies, toning down overwrought foreshadowing, and ensuring smooth narrative flow.
• Character Consistency: Keeping characters’ backstories and profiles in mind, I weave their motivations into conversations and actions.

2. Preparing Your Draft

• Clarity: Clearly state the genre, tone, and style of your story.
• Background Information: Provide character profiles and backstories for better contextual editing.
• Specific Requests: If you have particular areas of concern (e.g., dialogue, pacing), mention them.

3. Working in Beats

• Story Beats: Break your story into beats or sections. I edit one beat at a time for focused improvement.
• Submitting Beats: When submitting a beat, ensure it’s a manageable length (a few paragraphs to a couple of pages).
