Writing Pre-Publishing Checklist
Table of Contents
Related skills: Use writing-structure-planner for planning structure, writing-revision for deep prose revision, writing-stickiness for memorable messaging.
Core Principles
- Systematic, not subjective: Follow the checklist completely, don't skip sections
- Fresh eyes perspective: Read as if seeing the piece for the first time
- Binary decisions: Each check item is pass/fail, not "sort of"
- Flag, don't fix: Identify issues and present to user rather than silently fixing
- Final gate, not revision: This catches remaining issues, not does deep rewriting
